Each Sunday at StuckatTheAirport.com is Souvenir Sunday – the day we look at some of the fun, inexpensive items for sale in airport gift shops. This week’s souvenirs come to us from the Blue Grass Airport (LEX) in Lexington, Kentucky. The Aviation Museum of Kentucky is on airport property and last weekend (June 13, 2010) […]

8-year-old teaches Boeing a lesson

06/18/10

I had a chance to tag along with 8-year old Harry Winsor, his brother Charlie and their parents today on a VIP visit to the Future of Flight Aviation Center and the Boeing Factory Tour in Mukilteo,Wa. Harry and his family were getting the royal treatment in part to make up for the fact that, […]

Giant jackal-headed god appears at Denver International Airport

06/08/10

(Photo courtesy Jeff Wells) It may a bit off-putting to learn that the giant sculpture outside Denver International Airport right now is Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead. But keep in mind that this 26-foot tall, 7-ton statue is merely there to promote an exhibit opening later this month at the Denver Art Museum. […]

Can you build a better airplane? The Future of Flight wants your design

05/20/10

Here’s a great lemons to lemonade story. 8 year old Harry Winsor really loves to draw airplanes. So his dad, a savvy advertising executive – with a blog – sent one of Harry’s pictures to the folks at Boeing. But rather than send Harry a thank-you note, the giant company sent Harry a form letter […]

Ash-delayed at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport

05/18/10

Ash from Iceland’s volcano put the kabosh on a lot of flights yesterday and a lot of people spent a lot of time stuck at the airport. Those, like me, that were lucky got to spend their time at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, where there’s not only a branch of the Rijksmuseum, but a collection of […]

Love the layover: Museum of Bags and Purses

05/15/10

There are a lot of things to love about Amsterdam, including the canals, The Van Gogh Museum, The Rijksmuseum, the cheese, the bicycles and the chocolate. On my most recent visit, I discovered one more: The Museum of Bags and Purses Hendrikje. The 4000 piece collection includes pouches, pockets, purses, suitcases and accessories dating back […]

Love the layover: See Donald Duck & Madonna at Keukenhof on a Schiphol layover

05/10/10

I first learned about Keukenhof last year, when the historic 80-acre park that bursts forth each spring with 70 million tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other flowering bulbs was celebrating its 60th anniversary with, among other things, an installation of flowers at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. Even to someone who can barely keep a houseplant alive, I […]

If you’re waiting for friends or family to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), or have a long layover and have already popped over to the Theme Building and taken the elevator up to the Encounter Restaurant, then make your way to the arrivals area at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) and catch […]
