Rankings! Rankings! I’ve got rankings! You want some rankings? How ’bout you? Don’t worry. I’ve got rankings for everyone — that is, if you like major American airports. First thing’s first (I’m the realest): these aren’t my rankings. They were done by Thrillist, a site I’ve been a fan of for a very long time.…

Greatest Hits: The Genius LAX In & Out Burger Trick
As the first year of Fly&Dine draws to a close, I’ll be looking back on the stories that turned Fly&Dine from a tiny blog into a growing monolith (and major hub of hyperbole). With only two weeks left in 2014, let’s take a look at another popular story on Fly&Dine that proved using the word…
A Food Truck INSIDE an Airport with Kogi at LAX
Back in late 2008, a former hotel chef named Roy Choi launched a taco truck that put a spin on traditional Mexican fillings with Korean flavors. Over five years later, the gourmet food truck craze has both exploded and subsided (at least in Los Angeles where it all began) and now, with the opening of…
Airport Restaurant Review: AeroNuova at JFK
First and foremost, let me apologize. Unlike a regular restaurant review, I’m not able to return to the restaurant several times to try the entire menu and create a response based on the culmination of several experiences. I ate at AeroNuova once and paid for it out-of-pocket. I did so anonymously and present to you…
Westfield Unveils Disappointing Plan for Terminal 6 at LAX
LAX is undergoing a massive transformation and I’m really happy about all most of the changes. The Tom Bradley International Terminal is an oasis in international travel, American’s Terminal 4 has really improved the pre-flight dining experience, and other terminals have gotten major facelifts as well. That’s why it’s so disappointing to hear what the…
Would You Pay for Food with Miles?
Paying for food with miles? No, this isn’t some weird mile geek’s dream of the future. It’s about to become a reality at United’s Terminal C at Newark Liberty (EWR). Along with a whole slew of new restaurants, OTG and United are installing 6,000 iPads throughout the terminal that will become ordering terminals. Flyers can…
United Turning EWR Terminal C Into Culinary Haven
And the hottest new airport dining destination in the country is… NEWARK?!?!? Yep. You heard that right. Thanks to a $120 million project between United and OTG Management, Terminal C at EWR is going to get a whole lot nicer. Over 55 new dining outlets will be available to travelers and once they all open,…
Airport Lounge Opening Alert: The Club Comes to CVG
The Age of the Democratized Lounge is upon us. While the legacy carriers and major airline alliances still dominate the airport lounge world, newer open-to-all lounges are spreading everywhere. Instead of buying a business/first class ticket or holding status that allows for lounge entry, this new class of lounges is available to anyone who wants…
Your 12 Favorite Airport Deals Around the World
A couple of weeks ago, I ran a giveaway where readers had to mention their favorite airport deals in order to enter. While some of you took the pessimistic “There are deals at the airport?!? LOL! OMG! SO FUNNY!,” other people weighed in with great advice and instead of letting it all languish in the…
Sample Airport Restaurant Week Menus
Earlier today I told you about the debut of HMSHost’s Airport Restaurant Week running for the very first time starting in November. Now I’m back with some menus for you. The first one is from Dungeness Bay Seafood House at Seattle’s Sea-Tac Airport. The second is for the very-punny Cowboy Ciao at Phoenix Sky Harbor.…
Airport Restaurant Month Coming in October
Restaurant Weeks have popped up all over the world as a way to entice diners to come in and try new places that may be out of their daily options for whatever reason (usually price). Now, the Restaurant Week concept is finding its way into your local airport thanks to HMSHost, the global airport restauranteur.…
14 Major Chefs Pick The Best Airport Restaurants Around the World
If you want to find the best restaurants, you have to go to someone on the inside. While food writers like me think we’re the experts, the true voices of reason come from inside the kitchens themselves: the chefs. That’s why I put so much stock in this list that Conde Nast Traveler put together…
Breeze Through Security at BOS With This Trick
Who knew that buying a cup of clam chower could be so valuable? At Boston’s Logan International Airport, that cup of chowdah lets you skip the regular security line and head through the First Class line instead. Even better? It’s not just chowder that helps you out. If you buy anything at the Legal C…
LAX T2 Begins Transformation Process
Terminal 2 at LAX is kind of like that awkward cousin that lives down the street. While you and your friends United, American, and Delta play together, T2 is off in the corner drawing weird pictures of combination bear-dolphins. Every other terminal at LAX has a major carrier anchoring it, but Terminal 2 is a…
