Would You Fly For Food?

Air Fare America Explores Airports Off Beaten Path

Did you know there are more than 5,000 airports in the United States? Well known by pilots, most are unknown outside of the flying community.

While CNN recently named its top airport restaurants around the world, and celebrity chefs like Rick Bayless (Frontera restaurants include Chicago's O'Hare airport) and Cat Cora (Cat Cora's Kitchen at Houston, Salt Lake City and San Francisco) have landed at commercial airports, local airport restaurants have been attracting diners and pilots for decades.

Whether pilot, aviation enthusiast, foodie or travel buff, Air Fare America takes you to the amazing destinations found at small airports across the U.S.

According to Flying Magazine's Senior Editor Stephen Pope, "Here's an idea for a reality TV show we'd be sure to DVR: A pilot, a chef and a treasure hunter head off in an airplane to visit the coolest small airports across the country, sampling the food at the airport restaurants, meeting interesting airport characters and discovering the incredible airplanes and historic items inside the hangars."

Fly or drive with us to discover great food, uncover 'hidden' hangar treasures or experience airborne adventures off the beaten path, or around the corner. Explore our map of over 400 airport restaurants and aviation attractions. Visit our website or follow Air Fare America on Facebook to learn more.
