Also: The best time to take an Africa safari [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Jan 10, 2023 NOW ARRIVING: GREAT AIRPORT AMENITIES Love them or hate them, airports are an essential part of the travel experience — and can make or break a trip. Not all airports are created equal; some are truly superior to others. For example, whenever I’m visiting home in Texas, I know to savor a good cup of coffee before heading to Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (LBB), where pretty much the only cup of joe available is from Burger King. But at Nashville International Airport (BNA), you can grab a Vietnamese iced coffee from my favorite local coffee shop, 8th & Roast, or a knock-your-socks-off-strong pour-over from Barista Parlor. - [Caffeine on the concourse: TPG flew across the US to find the best airport coffee]( Around the world, airports are reinventing themselves.
