The good folks at Cheapflights.com have done it again. First we hailed them for their outstanding Kids' Airport Diversion Guide, which gives a rundown of cool diversions, activities and play areas for kids at major domestic and international airports. My personal favorite is the Kids on the Fly play area in Terminal 2 (after security) at Chicago O'Hare. My son spent a good hour loading and unloading the cargo plane and luggage station and playing in the air traffic control tower and helicopter. It truly is an indoor playground. While there isn't a lot of room to run around, every kid in there, including my own, seemed to burn a lot of energy, which made for a much quieter flight home.
And now. . . something for the grown ups! In addition to the dozens of general information airport guides that Cheapflights.com offers, there is now the 2009 Beer Lover's Airport Guide. Grab the guide and find out where you can raise a pint on St. Patrick's Day. Depending on where your travels take you, you might find yourself at Reilley's Daughter at Chicago Midway, Harpoon Brewery Tap Room at Logan, Three Irish Pub at Detroit Metro, or at one of the three Sam Adams Pubs in Newark Liberty where my mom and I spent some quality time during a 3-hour delay.
Cheers!
