Although Outagamie County Regional Airport (ATW), in Appleton, Wisconsin, isn’t very big – it’s served by just 4 airlines – it does have a couple of free, much appreciated, amenities.
Like what? Well, in addition to free wireless internet access, the airport stocks the post-security bathrooms with free, pocket-size, dental kits complete with mouthwash, dental floss and toothbrushes with a dollop of toothpaste.
Once you’ve freshened up (or “Freshin’ed Up”) with the complimentary dental supplies, perhaps you’ll want to hang around and do a bit of souvenir shopping in the airport gift shop. If you do, you’ll find plenty of cute, Wisconsin-identified items.
Like this cheese-shaped cup holder.
And this bag of cheddar cheese curds that, an airport official assures me, are OK to take through the security checkpoint.
Have you found a great souvenir while you’ve been stuck at the airport? If it is under $10, “of” the city or region and, ideally a bit offbeat, please snap a photo and send it along.
It may end up on a future edition of Souvenir Sunday.
