10 Airports With Scenic Attractions

Los Angeles International Airport

Star Alliance

 

You need to have status to enter the Star Alliance Lounge in the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX. But if you do find yourself in possession of the golden ticket, you can expect fire pits and amazing views of Hollywood and the mountains, along with a free open bar and an expansive food buffet.

Sydney Airport

Rydges Sydney Airport hotel

 

If you’re departing from this airport down under, you’re most likely looking at a long flight. Before going through security, check out the Cloud 9 rooftop bar at the Rydges Sydney Airport hotel. The bar features signature cocktails, spirits, champagnes, wines and food. But it also has killer views of the airport runway, Port Botany, and the city’s skyline.

Zurich Airport

Benet J. Wilson

 

The Aspire Lounge, open to all international travelers, is located in the airport’s Midfield Terminal above Gate E. It not only offers free cold and hot meals and drinks, it also offers breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps and airport gates from its outdoor terrace seating.

 

You can walk-in for a stay at the Aspire Lounge but if they are over capacity, you may be turned away. Entry is charged at CHF 38 ($38 US) per person with children free.
