People say it’s the small things in life that make life worth living.  Well, small airports work the same exact way.  My favorite small airport to go to was Key West, FL.  Besides the location, the five people that worked there were amazing!  And they all knew me by name.  They were always so friendly and willing to do anything I asked them.

During my flight attendant career I found that even if the smaller airports didn’t have catering the ground crews would bend over backwards to try to meet my requests.  The great thing about smaller airports with catering is that they will have all the really good stuff and if the company has changed supplies and you like the old, not the new goods, you can get them at the smaller airports (turn over isn’t as quick as the bigger airports).  In flight attendant school of course, you are taught the ways of catering, and then you will majorly finesse it during your flight attendant career, little tricks and all.

Another wonderful part with smaller airports is that they have an amazing knack to have a great turn over time.  You get in the airport, deplane, get the paperwork, get the passengers, who are usually all there early as well, and then you’re off.  It’s great.
