Airport PEEPS party The Just Born factory that makes all the PEEPS we eat around Easter is located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, not far from Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) in Allentown.

Airports had a great time trying to amuse and fool us on April 1 with everything from unusual therapy animals and other ‘new’ in-terminal ameninties such as a tattoo parlor and a climbing wall.

What will airport security lines be like this week? The short answer is: Who knows? The longer, but equally iffy, answer? There’s a hope for a return to normal at most airports. But at airports that have been in news for hours-long TSA lines (looking at you IAH, ATL and MSY) and high staff shortages, […]
We’re a wee bit late in declaring a winner for last week’s Airport Amenity of the Week. But we settled on these walnut-sized SEA keychains. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) recently held a preview of the retail, food and beverage and amenities that travelers will find when the massive Concourse C expansion opens later this spring.

The C Concourse Expansion project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is adding more than 225,000 square feet of much-needed new space. Locals will love it.
