New Indianapolis Airport

This weekend, Chip's parent's came down for a visit. Today, we were able to take advantage of the free tours that they are having this weekend of the brand new Indianapolis Airport! It's incredible and I highly recommend checking it out if you're able. It's only 10 minutes from our house and we don't even have to get on the interstate.

Where the old airport always felt cramped and confusing, this one is extremely well designed and with the most in-frequent flyer in mind. All of the glass and natural light make it feel very open, airy and spacious, but not too big that you'd get lost. It really only has 4 main areas: the food court, ticketing/check-in, the concourses, and baggage claim. And all seem to flow seamlessly into each other. The best part is that you can really see planes landing and departing from pretty much anywhere you stand. Here's a slideshow of some of the things we saw. All of the pictures are taken on my cell phone though so I apologize if they are low quality. We weren't sure if we could take cameras inside so I left my good camera at home. Enjoy!
