Ms. Compton got to spend <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"12 hours at Baltimore's airport (BWI) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/travel\/tips\/how-survive-hours-an-airport\/\" target=\"_blank\">12 hours at Baltimore&#8217;s airport (BWI)<\/a> and write an article about it. I want you all to promise me that you will never do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the understanding that Ms. Compton did this to satiate her inner Nellie Bly (or because she was told to) and not for entertainment, if you&#8217;re ever forced to spend twelve hours at an airport, there is only one thing that you should do: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Find the nearest third-party lounge (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/travel\/beginners-guide-to-airport-lounges\/\" target=\"_blank\">Find the nearest third-party lounge<\/a> and buy a day pass if you don&#8217;t have access through a credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve never had 12 hours at BWI but did once get stuck there for eight on a weather delay. My first, and only, stop was <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Club (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bwiairport.com\/at-bwi\/places-to-go\/lounge\" target=\"_blank\">The Club<\/a>.

The airline is based in Las Vegas and certainly considers Sin City its focus city, so it only makes sense to sponsor a stadium, right? Not so much. ULCCs make their money by keeping their costs extremely low, and I can&#8217;t imagine that this is a cheap sponsorship. I&#8217;m curious if the publicity will be worth the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, maybe Allegiant is an appropriate sponsor for a football stadium. After all, both charge outrageous prices for seat assignments and beverages, and neither lets you carry a bag in for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(HT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyertalk.com\/articles\/see-the-raiders-at-ultra-low-cost-carrier-stadium.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Flyertalk (opens in a new tab)\">Flyertalk<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Baby Heads Make The Coolest Tours&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re visiting Atlanta, there are a number of items that you need to check off your list.
