Signs and floor stickers reminding travelers to keep their distance in airport terminals are necessary right now.
We get that.
But at least some airports are giving their signs some local character.
In the sign above, you’ll see that Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is using Chinook salmon as a measuring tool. The airport has also enlisted the help of a moose and a Bald Eagle
These are animals locals will listen to.
Harrisburg International Airport (MDT), which is nearby Hershey Park in Pennsylvania, uses Kisses chocolates as their measuring tool.
We’re curious about how they figured out that 72 Kisses chocolates equals six feet and hope whomever was asked to lay the candies out to figure this out got to eat them.
Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) has a long-running thing for plastic pink flamingos. So it makes sense that a flamingo pops up in the airport’s social distancing signs.
In Chicago, they use these cute floor stickers at O’Hare and Midway Airports to remind people to keep their distance.
And at San Diego International Airport (SAN) it makes sense that the measuring stick is a surfboard. Passengers are urged to stay at least one surfboard apart.
We’ll keep adding to this collection of creative airport social distance signs and stickers as new ones arrive.
If you see a one in your travels that you think fits, please snap a photo and send it along.
