10/14/14

Here are some snaps from Dallas Love Field, where celebrations were underway and finishing touches to the terminal were on display in celebration of the lifting of the Wright Amendment on Monday, October 13.

E-cigs on a plane & in the airport

10/11/14

Can you vape on vacation? Maybe. Maybe not. Sales of e-cigarettes and their cousins, re-fillable “vaporizers,” are currently a $2.2 billion market in the United States, according to tobacco analysts at Wells Fargo Securities, up from an estimated $1.7 billion in 2013. And e-cig consumption could surpass that of combustible cigarettes in 10 years, according […]

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 […]

Airport trading cards: collect them all

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 […]
