Pancakes 
 
Best Airport Breakfast: Great Dane Brew Pub

According to a recent survey, "63 percent of Americans admit they sometimes feel low on energy in the morning," not surprising given fewer than half eat breakfast every day. So, why not start your morning and trip off right with some pancakes at the Great Dane Pub.

These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are as large as a small pizza! They come with real butter and warm maple syrup. You can even get them loaded with chocolate chips, nuts or fresh ripe bananas. Order just one or two so you can also enjoy bacon, ham or sausage on the side and a fresh glass of OJ.

Is This Seat Taken? - Check Facebook

The day has arrived when the travelers sitting with you at the gate or on the plane don't have to be nameless and unknown.


KLM Airlines and Malaysia Airlines, allow passengers to share their social-network profiles and pick seatmates before the flight - these "social-seating" programs can let you see whether other industry executives will be on the same plane or if someone is flying to Las Vegas to attend the same conference.


The seating map displays the seat choices and Facebook or LinkedIn profiles of other passengers who have decided to participate. You can contact them before the flight and choose to sit next to them if the seat is available. If you're open-minded, adventurous and, well social, then social seating can be fun, beneficial and worthwhile.

 DON'T FORGET
THE
CHEESE 

Who doesn't love Wisconsin cheese? Did you know that cheese purchased at the airport does not need to be refrigerated for up to 12 hours after purchase? So enjoy those cheese curds on the plane, or bring a gift of cheese--Something Special from Wisconsin. A variety of cheeses are available at the Wisconsin Marketplace and the Lake Country Travel Mart in the airport. It really is the perfect gift!
