Best airport for a layover? You can vote on it.

10/07/14

As the writer of the Stuck at The Airport blog (which was first a book way back in 2001), people often ask me which airports are best for layovers. My answer is often “it depends.” No matter how many amenities an airport has – and with spas, movie theaters, beer gardens, ice-skating rinks, napping nooks, […]

Museum Monday: Welcome to California, Jane

09/22/14

While bands, dancers and floats filled with people dressed in traditional German clothing marched up 5th Avenue as part of New York City’s German-American Steuben Parade on Saturday, I ducked inside the Metropolitan Museum of New York and spent a few minutes in the Garry Winogrand photography retrospective. Winogrand’s best images document daily life in […]

Deer hunting at airports. Allowed.

09/19/14

Bow-hunting is a popular sport in Western Pennsylvania, so the pilot program underway at Pittsburgh International Airport is a great opportunity for sportsmen and women. But it’s a bad deal for deer caught in the airport’s designated bow-hunting zone. The Allegheny County Airport Authority is holding a lottery to issue free, archery-only season permits for […]

09/17/14

Baseball teams have them, some police forces have them and the TSA’s K-9 unit has them. Now more than 20 North American airports have trading cards too. Unveiled earlier this month, each card has the look and feel of a traditional baseball card. But instead of portraying a rookie player at bat, the cards in […]

Airports around the country will join in the observation of the anniversary of 9/11 today. At Indianapolis International Airport, for example, a section of the World Trade Center steel recovered from Ground Zero will be on display in the Civic Plaza. The steel artifact was presented to the Indianapolis International Airport fire department by the […]

Match made in HEL: skateboard at Helsinki Airport

09/10/14

Admit it: even if you’re not a skateboarder, you’ve looked down those long airport corridors and thought about how cool it would be to cover those distances on a skateboard. Now Finland’s Helsinki Airport is going to give a select few skateboarders that chance. And more. As part of a promotion highlighting the airport as […]

A big conference for advocates of walking and biking is being held in downtown Pittsburgh this week and to celebrate Pittsburgh International Airport has installed a bike assembly station in Baggage Claim with various tools, wrenches and an air pump for travelers to use to re-assemble bikes near Baggage Claim P.

Are TSA PreCheck centers easy-access?

09/04/14

No balloons fell from the ceiling last week when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security celebrated the fact that over 500,000 travelers have handed over personal data – and $85 – to join the Transportation Security Administration’s expedited airport screening program since the first public enrollment center opened at Indianapolis International Airport in December […]
