Akron-Canton Airport

Travel Tidbits from Airports Near You

A lot is happening at airports around the country this week. Here’s a round-up of some of what we’ve spotted so far.

First – see if you can catch this deal:

Low-cost Icelandic airline PLAY is offering flights from the U.S. to Iceland for $99 and to London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, and Paris for $109 from October 24 through 31. Book it here.

This deal is valid for flights booked from November 2024 through January 2025.

Trick-or-Treat at the airport? That could be fun.

In some cities, they do safe trick-or-treating events at the mall. But in Canton, Ohio, kids will head to the Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) on Halloween.

The Stuck at the Airport shopping team loves creative airport vending machines. Here’s a new one at OAK airport that dispenses greeting cards.

SLC Airport still celebrating Phase 3 opening

We can’t wait to visit Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to see the new art at amenities that opened as part of the Phase 3 redevelopment.

Fresh art at Bush Intercontinental Airport

And this week Bush Interncontinal Airport (IAH) opened a lovely Terminal D West Pier.

Souvenir Sunday at: Akron-Canton Airport

Happy Souvenir Sunday!

Each Sunday we feature a few great under $10 souvenirs discovered at an airport.

Not just any souvenirs but, ideally, items that are unusual, somewhat unique and, at the very least, “of” that city or state.

This week, I asked Ryan Hollingsworth over at Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) to do a little shopping.   Here’s what she found:

First up, these colorful Ohio Golf Balls ($2 each) that, from here, look like they’re  smiling.

Then, this cute Pro Football Hall of Fame Teddy Bear:

Akron-Canton Hall of Fame Teddy

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Canton, Ohio and the induction ceremony is in a few weeks. So airport gift shops are stocked with lots of Hall of Fame items right now.

But wait, there’s more!  While scrolling through oh, about 1000 tweets last week, I noticed that @CAKAirport posted a photo of  another great “of” that airport souvenir:

Have you found a great under $10 souvenir while you were stuck at an airport? If you do, please take a photo and send it along.  It may be featured in a future edition of Souvenir Sunday!
