Of course, living in Colorado, I am more familiar with DIA than any other airport. Recently opened in the main terminal is the Vertical Mile Market (right), bright and inviting and offering some not-so-great-for-you snack foods but also far more healthy options than the newsstands. You'd never know from the food-court lines at various fast-fooderies that DIA does have healthy options, but they do exist.
The B Gates (aka, Concourse B), offer the most healthy options (be sure to choose wisely) including Cantina Grill Express, Itza Wrap! Itza Bowl!, Jamba Juice, Que Bueno! Mexican Grille, TCBY Yogurt, and Wolfgang Puck Express. TCBY also is in the main terminal and at the C Gates. For those who like to walk, the B Gates are also along DIA's longest concourse, so once through security, passengers can take a nice long hike there. Another walking opportunity is to use the skybridge rather than the train to reach the A Gates and to walk from the main terminal to A instead of using the moving walkways to approach security.

Before baggage became such an issue, we'd take sandwiches, apples, oranges, and other food to avoid having to eat airport food. Today, I'd guess you want to carry on as much baggage as possible and have only one bag.
ReplyDeleteI liked the food at the Munich airport best. Moscow had no food - but that was in 1987.
My favorite food at a US airport used to be at San Francisco Intl, which had commendable (for an airport) sushi and other Asian fare in the international terminal. I haven't been there for some years, but it used to be quite easy to wander from the domestic terminal to international if there was a wait before the flight to do this.
ReplyDeleteAll western European airports seem to have better food than most US ones. The new Terminal 5 at Londond's Heathrow even has star chef Gordon Ramsey's Plane Food with dine-in or take-out options. Marks & Spencer's Simply Food take-out stores are located at airports and larger railroad stations all over the UK. IMO, even the best US airports for lag behind those across the pond.
I'm a fan of TCBY Yogurt and look for them in every airport. I'm thrilled that they have two locations at DIA, so I can get cup coming or going!

ReplyDeleteI agree with the most. But this is a joke, isn’t it? Ontario Airport is much healthier for those that work there and those that travel through it far more than many on the list.
ReplyDeleteSujan Patricia - You'd have to take this up with the magazine. It's their list, not mine. Maybe they didn't consider smaller airports.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore Washington airport I fly in and out of often and it is very clean and good facilities. I am not so sure though that it is possible to realistically evalaute a healthy airport.
