Airport Facts
Things you thought you knew...
- Waiting in line and killing time at the airport tops the list of common complaints for any frequent flyer. Be bored at the airport no more! If you dig deeper, as Travelocity's Editor's Council has done, you're bound to discover reasons to rejoice about all that excess time you've got at America's top airports. Hey, you may even try to get there even earlier for your next flight.
Chicago's Midway International
Change up what you're listening to or consider a bringing a musical gift. Revered as "the top independent music retailer in the country," George's Music Room found its second home just beyond Chicago Midway's security checkpoint. The original store opened in 1968 in Chicago's fabled west side and has since been known to stock local and hard-to-find Blues records, as well as the latest hits.Dallas-Ft. Worth International
A traveling "wine connoisseur's dream," La Bodega Winery (located in DFW's Terminal A and D) embraces the distinction of being the only airport winery in the country. Relax among the grapevines while sipping a glass of fine regional wine, or sample a flight if your taste buds are in a wine-picking conundrum. Cheers!Newark International
Designed to meet the "mind-body needs of time-poor and world-weary travelers," d-parture spa in Newark's Terminal C indulges in tranquility in an otherwise bustling airport. Put your mind and body at ease before the long-haul with a foot rub or ten-minute massage. Even spruce up afterwards with a skin replenishing treatment or mini-makeover.

For those who missed the chance to go to NASA?s launch pad while visiting Orlando ? or for those who just can?t get enough -- the Kennedy Space Center Shop in the Main Terminal?s East Hall has trinkets that are literally out of this world. Looking for some noteworthy collectibles? Check out the space shuttle replicas or a commemorative coin collection. If you?re not really in the shopping mood, grab some space ice cream and take a photo with the life-size astronaut at the door.
