Use your phrases

We spotted a few airports celebrating National Crossword Puzzle Day on December 21 with their very own aviation-themed puzzles.

The vacation marks the day the first-recognized revealed crossword became posted inside the New York World newspaper.

Give those puzzles from Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) a attempt. And allow us to realize which of them we overlooked.

And just for a laugh: TSA Nutcrackers

More approaches to mask up at airports

Since then, many airfields have gotten in contact to show off their branded mask and the innovative methods they're reminding vacationers to mask up.

Here’s a sampling. Let us understand if you have one to feature.

Here’s how Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) encourages passengers to mask up.

Here’s a snazzy mask from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)

This one, from McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, glows inside the darkish! (You should buy one at Mr. Boxer in the C Concourse)

These are from Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO)

This snazzy mask is on the market inside the gift stores at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport (ICT)

And the masks beneath, in conjunction with the whole thing else you see pictured, are from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) and are on the market inside the GSP on-line store.

We shared the information closing week approximately the hole of the new Concourse E extension at Portland International Airport (PDX).

Here’s a bit greater about the challenge.

The extension brings the primary new gates to PDX in greater nearly two decades and offers perspectives of Mt. Hood and the Columbia Rivier.

The new concourse extension also features aerial sculptures by Jacob Hashimoto featuring eleven,000 paper kits and 450 one-of-a-kind images representing Portland’s river, bridges, and neighborhoods.

Hashimoto’s PDX paintings can be familiar to tourists. He also has his work displayed at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), inside the foyer of SFO Grand Hyatt.
