July is National Ice Cream Month.
And the Stuck at the Airport team is team is getting ready for the holiday by taste-testing its way through this six-pack of Greater’s Ice Cream that arrived at the office.
So far, the limited-edition Hot Honey Crunch is our favorite.
We’ve been told that ice cream eaten at an airport has no calories.
We SO want to believe that, because a cup or a cone is often our go-to treat when we’re waiting for a flight.
We’re putting a call out for great airport ice cream shops so we can do a proper round-up once the holiday month gets underway.
So please leave a note in the comments section about your favorite places to get a scoop or a sundae at an airport.

In the meantime, here’s a deal for you at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) from Greater’s.
The Cincinnati-based, family-owned company started in 1870 and is well-known for handcrafting its ice cream 2½ gallons at a time. Back in 2016, they opened a storefront at CVG on Concourse A that is, as you might imagine, very popular with passengers.
For those passing through CVG this summer, we’ve heard from Greater’s that the airport shop will be carrying peach ice cream now through mid-August and offering the limited-edition strawberry sorbet starting July 1. Key lime pie ice cream will be in the shop starting August 1.
Better yet: If you download Graeter’s app and sign up for their “Sweet Rewards” program, you’ll get an offer for a free cone.
During National Ice Cream Month, Sweet Rewards members are promised a variety of other offers as well.
