Another Airport Will Now Deliver Your Food Straight to the Gate

May 3, 2012 at 8:50 AM | by | Comments (0)

Total laziness—we mean convenience—is on its way over to Sacramento International Airport, as HMSHost introduces their tasty travel app to hungry travelers. We’ve already mentioned how ordering up lunch, dinner, or just a snack is an option at airports like MSP, JFK, and ORD, but now the fun has arrived at SMF.

Esquire Grill or Burgers & Brew are the two initial offerings available through the B4 YOU BOARD app. Salads, cheeseburgers, and even macaroni and cheese are available at your fingertips, and then things will be delivered right to your where you’ve parked yourself near the gate. It sounds like the serving hours are scheduled between 10:30am and 6:30pm each and every day, so you might just have to order the old fashioned way if you’re looking for some breakfast.

Delta Still Believes in LaGuardia

April 19, 2012 at 9:29 AM | by | Comments (0)

It seems like we’ve been following the goings on at Delta’s home at New York-LaGuardia for quite some time. First they were all like, we’re taking over with plenty of flights, and then they let everyone know that they were planning on making the airport experience great once again.

At this point Delta has plenty of nonstop flights out of LGA to destinations across the country, but they’re still busy at work completing the renovations within the terminals.

We already revealed some of their latest dining updates, shopping opportunities and free iPad usage within the airport, but the airline has just broke ground on even more fun stuff.

Just What Boston's Logan Airport Needs: More Dunkin' Donuts

March 22, 2012 at 9:48 AM | by | Comments (0)

It’s not quite as exciting—at least to us—as Chick-fil-A arriving for the first time at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, but there’s a few new restaurants arriving at another pretty big airport. Boston's Logan International is ready for a few new shops and restaurants just in time for spring, and it looks like they’re all headed for many of the international arrivals and departures that do their thing within Terminal E.

If there’s one thing Boston—or Massachusetts in general—is known for it’s a passion for Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, so it only makes sense to have plenty of it available at the airport. There’s already locations within other terminals and concourses at the airport, but if you “run on Dunkin” you’ll be able to get your iced coffee or dunkaccino fix now within Terminal E as well. Obviously, there will be plenty of donuts as well, so why not grab a box of munchkins to share with your fellow passengers?

You Are Here: the New iPad Workstations at LGA

March 15, 2012 at 4:56 PM | by | Comments (0)

We never thought we'd ever say this, but each time we've traveled through Terminal D at New York-LaGuardia Airport, we like it a little bit more. And to think we used to avoid it as much as possible; kidding, we're still going to avoid it but maybe not so stubbornly.

Here is a prime reason why: iPad-equipped individual workstations near a few of the gates, all part of the OTG Management renovations. We sat and toyed with one of the iPads, checked out the plugs (4 USBs and 2 outlets) and discovered that the iPads not only access the Delta website, but also The Weather Channel, WebMD, a selection of games and Google Earth.

We've updated our gallery of the renovations with shots of said iPad, plus the official photos from OTG. Happy flying!

Believe It or Not, Delta is Making LaGuardia Airport Cool Again

March 12, 2012 at 6:09 PM | by | Comments (0)

Excuse us for breaking out the colorful language, but the renovation of the Delta terminal at New York-LaGuardia is fan-f*cking-tastic. Simply excellent, no sarcasm here (for the time being).

We knew Delta was seriously getting down with LaGuardia lately, adding new routes and bringing in top chefs to run the terminal's eateries, but actually stepping into the renovated spaces is far different from reading the press releases. And, as former frequent flyers from this terminal when the best it could do was a Sbarro's and Starbucks (the Starbucks with a few wobbly, bar-height tables and no chairs), we're thrilled that Delta is actually making it a terminal out of which we want to fly.

Yes! Chick-fil-A is Scheduled to Arrive at MSP Later This Spring

February 29, 2012 at 9:24 AM | by | Comment (1)

All right this might not be the biggest announcement in airport restaurant dining, but we can hardly contain our excitement about the scheduled arrival of waffle fries at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Chick-fil-A is joining the dining lineup at the airport later this year, and all the crispy chicken sandwiches you can eat will be found within Concourse C of Terminal 1.

That’s the terminal—also know as Lindbergh—where Delta does their thing, so we’re curious of they had any kind of influence on bringing the Southern restaurant chain all the way to Minnesota.

The Chick-fil-A at MSP will be the first location for the chain within the state of Minnesota, so maybe if all goes well we’ll see some locations outside of the airport before too long. The fast food fried chicken will be moving into a location that used to be home to Godfather's Pizza and A&W, and we’ve got to say that airport officials have made a great decision. We’re already looking forward to some thirst-quenching lemonade, the aforementioned waffle fries, and of course plenty of chicken sandwiches.

Our only recommendation is to not include one of those fancy pants Coke machines, as no one seems to be able to operate the one outside the Chick-fil-A location in ATL.

The World's First Airport Aeroponic Garden Grows at Chicago O'Hare

February 23, 2012 at 11:41 AM | by | Comments (0)

Back in September 2011, the Aeroponic Garden at Chicago-O'Hare Airport was still just getting off the ground (literally—the plants grow in vertical columns). Now, almost six months later, the greenery has grown and the airport is showing off the newest, freshest addition to Terminal 3 (mezzanine level), which houses most American Airlines/oneworld flights, plus JetBlue and Spirit.

Now, finally, we have an image of the progress along with the news that, indeed, Rick Bayless' Tortas Fronteras will make use of the fresh produce grown at ORD:

The vegetables harvested from the garden will be used at HMSHost’s O’Hare restaurants including Tortas Frontera, Wicker Park Seafood & Sushi, Blackhawks Restaurant and Tuscany. Produce growing in the garden includes Swiss chard, sweet basil, purple basil, cilantro, dill, parsley, chives, Bibb lettuce, gourmet lettuce mix, habanero peppers, edible viola flowers, edible nasturtium flowers, thyme, oregano, red lettuce, and green beans.

Chicago's fancy futuristic airport garden is actually the first and only aeroponic garden in an airport. Take that, Singapore-Changi!

Jamie Oliver Brings His Pans, Knives and Tongs Through Security to London-Gatwick

February 20, 2012 at 9:30 AM | by | Comments (0)

We’re not quite there just yet, but if things keep going as they are then eventually we might just be visiting the airport to grab a good meal. Sure there are still plenty of Sbarro slices and sandwiches from Charlie’s Grilled Subs, but those grab-and-go fast food places are starting to be the exception rather than the norm.

Jamie Oliver is the next celebrity chef to head through the metal detectors, as he and his partners are kicking around the idea of bringing a brand new dining establishment to London’s Gatwick Airport. If everything goes as planned—and we’re thinking that it will—hungry airport travelers could be digging into his delicacies just in time for this year’s Olympic games.

Yo! There's a YO! Sushi at London Heathrow Airport's Terminal 3

Where: London-Heathrow Airport, London, United Kingdom
February 16, 2012 at 1:03 PM | by | Comments (0)

Yo yo yo!!!!

Flying Virgin Atlantic out of London-Heathrow Airport and looking for a little pre-flight nosh that's not greasy, not fancy and not "I guess it's okay for airport food?" We may have found an answer: an outpost of the YO! Sushi chain within Terminal 3, after security.

Okay so this isn't as major a discovery as the Krispy Kreme in the same terminal (downstairs, before security), but we're excited nonetheless. It can be quite a challenge scoring some edible (non bloating) food before a long flight, and the chance to escape the sea of your half-awake, half-sweaty fellow passengers camped out at gates with crumpled McDonald's bags, reeking of 45-minute old french fries.

Yeah.....we think we'll be having the dragon roll, edamame and some green tea from the at-table taps. Join us?

$118 Million Means a 'Nacho Hippo' for Myrtle Beach Airport

January 20, 2012 at 10:01 AM | by | Comments (0)

The airport down in Myrtle Beach is going through a little bit of a terminal renovation and expansion, and we’re excited to learn that they’re already focusing on some new airport dining options. It won't just be national favorites and brand names either, as they’ve called on some local restaurateurs and businesses to bring unique options to travelers heading to and from town.

Bubba's Fish Shack and Nacho Hippo—great names—are just two of the new restaurants that have local outposts in addition to their new home at the airport. Expect plenty of BBQ this and that, as well as fried seafood, burgers, and sandwiches from Bubba’s. Over at Nacho Hippo there should be lots of frozen tequila beverages, but the plan is to also put an international spin on the traditional tacos and nachos. Sounds like a great airport watering hole if you ask us.

Iron Chef Michael Symon is Cooking Up a Little Something Special for Pittsburgh Airport

January 12, 2012 at 4:00 PM | by | Comments (0)

If you’re an Iron Chef it’s clear that you are more than half-way decent at cooking, but it also means that you have a passion for restaurants—especially those at the airport. Cat Cora is already slinging stuff in San Francisco and Houston, and now Michael Symon is planning to do something similar.

Bar Symon is headed to Pittsburgh International Airport as soon as this May, and the plan is to ensure that hungry travelers are well fed and are provided with something a little more substantial than a bag of pretzels and a Diet Coke. We’re most looking forward to taking a crack at the restaurant’s "Lola Burger," which will be topped with a fried egg and pickled red onions.

150 New Restaurants Due to Arrive at ATL, Including Ludacris' 'Chicken n Beer'

January 5, 2012 at 11:15 AM | by | Comments (0)

There’s already plenty of awesome options for eats when you travel to—or through—Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, but now even more new restaurants on due to arrive. It’s all part of the latest and greatest addition to the airport, as ATL’s new international terminal is scheduled to debut later this year.

Airport officials haven’t specified where—or when—each new establishment will do its thing, but many of these will hold grand openings later this year, between the new terminal and other vacancies across the airport. In total the city council handed out like $3 billion in concession contracts; that should keep travelers satisfied and satiated for like the next ten years or so.
