Despite construction, Dayton airport still ‘easy to and through’
Don’t let construction — or improvements in the making — discourage you from enjoying Dayton International Airport (DAY) for your air travel needs.
Parking areas and the terminal remain “easy to and through,” and though remodeling work continues, travelers will already find some exciting updates.
A new car rental center, in front of the parking garage, is opening in time for the holiday season. The new location makes picking up and returning rentals easier. With floor-to-ceiling windows and all-new service counters, the center provides a brighter, more welcoming experience for customers.
Just inside the main terminal entrance, new passenger and visitor amenities are making travel at DAY easier. A new Great American Bagel Bakery offers snacks and beverages from early morning to 11 p.m. daily, and a recently relocated and improved USO Lounge provides a restful haven for traveling military members and their families.
Nearby are new restrooms featuring colorful glass tile and water-efficient fixtures that help the airport meet its sustainability goals.
When you’re next at the airport, look down at the terminal’s new terrazzo floor tile. The tile features images of aircraft that were invented, tested, built, or flown at Huffman Prairie Flying Field and its aeronautical successors in Dayton and/or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
It’s another way DAY shows its pride in serving the birthplace of aviation.
