I spent the day walking the aisles of the exhibition hall at the annual conference of ACI-NA: Airports Council International – North America, being held this week in Pittsburgh.
I’ll be writing a column for USA TODAY on some of the intriguing services and amenities on the horizon for travelers, but wanted to share a few tidbits from the day.
The folks from the upscale Graycliff Cigar Company have set up two cigar lounges at Nashville International Airport and are in talks to expand the idea to several other airports. The company, which also markets gourmet coffee and fancy watches, has a cigar maker on duty here making cigars from several kinds of tobacco.
And here’s a factoid I learned today:
Airport shops run by the Hudson Group sell more than 100,000 rayon, Pashima-style scarves a year.
More tomorrow….
