Dancing at Denver International Airport
Sep 19th, 2011 at 6:00PM:
There are only so many ways to kill time at the airport. You can eat overpriced food, drink overpriced alcohol, read or dance. OK, there might be more things to do at the airport, but for the sake of introducing this video, let's pretend that those are the only options. This young lady was bored at Denver International Airport and decided to cut a rug right there in the terminal. Not to be ...
Man commits suicide in LAX bathroom, crime still down 6%
Sep 16th, 2010 at 11:00AM: Can there be a worse way to go ... not to mention a worse place?! Some guy, who isn't being identified by the police, seems to have killed himself in a restroom at Los Angeles International Airport – Terminal 3, specifically. The unpleasantness happened just before 8 AM yesterday, and shortly after noon, the city's police said it looked like a suicide.
The victim (and alleged perpetrator, ...German pilot dumped, lives in Brazilian airport for two weeks

Breakups are tough, but we always seem to get through them. Whether it's strip clubs or buckets of ice cream, there are plenty of coping mechanisms. The latest is to move into an airport. I don't know how this makes you feel better, but it seems to be working for a German tourist. Heinz Muller, a former pilot, ...
Layover: Seattle
Aug 1st, 2009 at 10:30AM:
Despite being the largest airport in the Pacific Northwest and serving as the hub for Alaska Airlines,(and its subsidiary, Horizon Air) Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport is surprisingly easy to navigate. Airport Revenue News honored it with the Best Overall Concessions award, and it does offer some great restaurants and shopping to keep you busy on a short layover.
If your plane isn't delayed on arrival ...Wine flights taking off in Newark Liberty's Terminal C
May 5th, 2009 at 2:00PM: I tend to be a little anal-retentive when it comes to getting to the airport on-time for a flight. As such, I end up arriving a good 2+ hours before take-off. The upside is that, in all of my travels, I have only missed two flights because of my tardiness. The downside is that I've had to kill a tremendous amount of time in airports. Despite the fact that they are made for waiting, airport ...Photo of the Day (12.25.08)
Dec 25th, 2008 at 6:00PM: If you were unfortunate enough this Christmas to be stuck in the O'Hare airport, let me apologize in advance for our choice for today's Photo of the Day. This shot by jameskadamson is representative of the experience for so many this Christmas. I especially like the use of black and white, which makes the architecture stand out. The unique design is, in fact, why it was chosen for a scene from ...Galley Gossip: Looking for love on the airplane (or at the airport)
Dec 9th, 2008 at 10:30AM:
I never realized how much people actually disliked traveling until I started writing for Gadling. Well the next time you have to travel, don't despair. It's not all bad. Not if you're single that is. In fact, if you are single, it can be a lot of fun. Real fun! How do I know? Because recently I read an interesting article about looking for love at the airport, which I think is a fabulous ...Airlines Complain about Vegas Airport's Plan
Oct 13th, 2008 at 1:30PM: Despite seeing a decrease in the number of arrivals, construction of a new terminal will go ahead as planned at McCarran Airport Las Vegas. Though the 2 billion dollar project will not be completed until 2012, some airlines are questioning the timing of the project. It's not secret that airlines are struggling. Arrivals are down almost 5% at McCarran since last year. A drop of as high as 15% is ...The Gadling tour of JetBlue's new Terminal 5 at JFK
Aug 23rd, 2008 at 3:40PM: As Grant reported earlier this month, JetBlue is in the final stages of construction for its brand new home at Terminal 5 of New York's JFK airport. This morning Gadling had the chance to take a sneak peak of the new facilities in advance of the building's official opening on October 1st. Although there's still much to be accomplished in the next 6 weeks, the building is already shaping up as a ...JetBlue gives new terminal at JFK a dry run

Aug 8th, 2008 at 3:30PM: JetBlue's new terminal at JFK opens up on October first, and the airline is making sure to run it's operations through the gauntlet before going live. We all remember what happened in Heathrow's T5 earlier this year when they didn't test their operations thoroughly enough: thousands of passengers and their luggage were separated and stranded, resulting in unruly passengers, thousands of complaints ...Paris Airports Help Passengers Groove
Aug 1st, 2008 at 1:00PM: A service at Paris area airports will have people dancing in the terminals. Literally. As a special summer promotion provided by Aeroports de Paris, dance classes will be offered to passengers before they hop, or samba, onto their flight. Call it France's version of the reality hit So You Think You Can Dance. Styles include tango, salsa, modern jazz, and mambo. There is even instruction in hip ...Heathrow: Still Europe's worst
Jul 2nd, 2008 at 10:00AM: I wonder whether they should just tear down Heathrow and build a new airport from scratch. Heathrow consistently gets the worst ratings among airports. And with competition such as the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, that's saying a lot.
According to the latest statistics published by the Association of European Airlines, nearly half of flights left or arrived at Heathrow at least 15 minutes ...Symbolic figurehead helps inaugurate Heathrow's new terminal
Mar 15th, 2008 at 1:00PM: Yesterday Queen Elizabeth II helped celebrate the opening of Heathrow's newest terminal, an $8.7 billion structure that is now the largest free-standing building in Britain. "My warmest congratulations go to everyone who has worked on this highly impressive building; it embodies many achievements of which you can be rightly proud," she said.
The terminal will be used exclusively by British ...
