Airports
From check–in to the gate, airports can be business travelers' best friends—or most formidable foes.
Why are airports all so different? We spend a good portion of our lives in these enormous facilities and know their public spaces intimately. But what goes on behind the scenes? In this issue, Los Angeles International (LAX) serves as a case study to help us understand how airports work.
