name a more iconic duo…i’ll wait
Really, the only thing you need to know is that Lambert International Airport (STL) serving St. Louis, Missouri has Ted Drewes custard machines.
This alone should give it a top rating. These babies serve 6 concrete flavors, ice cold, smooth and creamy deliciousness, I would book a flight there today just for that. Bold statement coming: you have not lived until you’ve had Ted Drewes custard. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Lambert Airport (named after a famous STL Olympian and aviator) is one of more historic airports in the country, as it is the site of the first use of air traffic control, and it had close association with Charles “Spirit of St. Louis” Lindbergh. It has two terminals, Terminal 2 is made up of Concourse E for Southwest and international travel, with WOWAir starting this month to Iceland.
Terminal 1 is slight into 4 concourses: A serves Delta, United, Air Canada Express, B is vacant and used for events; C is used by American, Frontier, Cape Air and Air Choice One (question mark?), D is mostly vacant except for those renamed as E gates and used by Southwest. Because many gates are vacant right now, it’s hard to tell how many are actually in use, but probably ~40 active gates.
Remember: ✈️ = E.I. E.I uh-oh to ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ = meet me in st. louis
Convenience to the city: ✈️✈️ (about 14 miles from Downtown, it’s not that close, but it does sit quite prominently on i-70)
Ease of navigating through terminals: ✈️✈️✈️ (it’s all one long connected strand)
Convenience of check in/security lines: ✈️✈️✈️ (better than most)
Dining: ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ (five ✈️ for Ted Drewes; if you’re eating anything other than a concrete from one of the three vending machines in this airport, you’re just being unnecessary…although I can make an exception for a Schlafly at one of the two brewery locations).
Bathrooms: ✈️✈️✈️ (can use a little updating, but usually clean)
Charging stations/wifi: ✈️✈️✈️ (free wifi available for 60 minutes)
Amenities: ✈️ (Well, you didn’t come here to shop. There’s an American Airlines Admirals’ Club and a Wingtips common use lounge, but otherwise just find a Ted Drewes to keep you occupied)
