Fly-in, fly out meetings are popular for good reasons
If you wonder why on-site airport conference centers are drawing more attention than ever these days, the sites are promoting not only their convenience but also their more luxurious features.
“Talk about convenient: At a variety of airports, on-site conference centers ensure your group can get business done without ever stepping foot outside the terminal—an accessible feature many planners may not be aware of,” says Smartmeetings.com.
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Conference Center, for example, offers fully-equipped A/V services in its 9,000 square feet of meeting space.
Other full-service airport event options include the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Conference Center, which can host up to 100 meeting-goers; and the Dallas Love Field Airport Conference Center, which offers five state-of-the-art meeting rooms for 6–20 attendees.
The stereotype of airport hotels used to be uncomfortable cinderblock high-rises. But no more.
Newer airport hotels feature such amenities as luggage delivered directly to the rooms and upscale features.
The Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport is a Four-Diamond property with award-winning restaurants, a 24-hour gym and 42,000 square feet of function space, to cite just one example.
