STL Airport

May your candy be full-size, your costume survive the overhead bin, and the only terrifying thing you encounter today be remembering that you thought a 6AM flight was the best idea. Happy Halloween and safe travels!

The reward for being at the airport this early is getting views like this! A recent sunrise caught a line of departing aircraft across the airfield, with the control tower silhouetted in the distance. Photo credit to Gerald McGrath!

Flying with your costume on in the next few days? We like the commitment. But be realistic before you try boarding your flight as an 8-foot dinosaur. Can you sit? Can the person next to you sit (comfortably)? Will TSA be able to confirm that the face on your ID matches?

You’re sitting on your flight waiting to take off & suddenly the aircraft starts moving backward. Naturally, you assume the pilot found reverse. But what y experiencing is pushback, when a specialized vehicle helps move the aircraft away from the gate before it taxis!

If candy before Halloween is acceptable, so are donuts. A Sweet treat is a sweet treat. Head to Midtown Café at gates A16 and E38 to get your fix before you get on your next flight! Candy’s overrated anyway.

We took a highly scientific approach to finding out which STL airline best matches your Hogwarts house if you’re looking to take a trip across the pond to hit up an HP landmark tour in London. Take a guess & then swipe to find out yours! @British_Airways

Now on view in T1: The Firecracker Press: Twenty-Five Years of Letterpress Posters, a retrospective of custom-designed, hand-printed posters made for rock bands, nonprofits, sports teams, neighborhood groups, nature lovers, and all the best parties.

Please join us in congratulating Vincent Fuchs on his recent promotion to Sergeant with the St. Louis Airport Police Department. Sgt. Fuchs serves with the department’s Canine Unit, helping support the safety and security of STL alongside his fellow officers and K-9 partners.

We want to give a huge thank-you to all of the sponsors who helped bring this year’s Art of Travel gala to life & supported the Lambert Art & Culture Program along the way. To every sponsor who stepped up for this year’s Encore: thank you for helping us keep STL creative.

Join us in welcoming Dylan Tiernan to the STL’s Public Relations team! Dylan is studying Business Administration–Management at @UISedu, with a minor in Business Analytics & is spending the fall getting a behind-the-scenes look at what keeps airport communications moving.

Fall streets, old-town cafes, apple wine, museums… & you could be experiencing all of it RIGHT NOW! @lufthansa will take you right from STL to Frankfurt, quick as could be (actually it takes multiple hours, but at least you don’t have to change planes) on their nonstop service.

Airports are basically little cities. The person who checks in your bag works for the airline. The person doing your security works for TSA. Restaurant companies, rental car agents, contractors & STL staff all work alongside each other to keep everything moving.

We are NOT saying that STL is haunted. We’re just saying that the airport’s been around since the 1920’s, there’s a lot of history, & terminals can feel a little… different when they’re quiet at 2AM. That’s all. We’re curious: Do you think the airport’s haunted?

The Terminal 1 Metrolink platform at STL is temporarily closed for important structural concrete repairs. The closure will last through Monday, Dec. 14. During this time, Metrolink passengers can use our Terminal 1–Terminal 2 shuttle. #FlySTL #MetrolinkUpdate #STLAirport
