LAX Is Best For Flying Senior Health Foodies


USA Today reports results of a survey of U.S. airports conducted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The conclusion of its annual Airport Food Review is that Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves the healthiest foods.

The selection, as quoted in the report, includes “the healthy basics” -- veggies, fruits, whole grains and legumes.” This, of course, is good news to seasoned air travelers who’ve spent decades cruising airports with only fast-food and greasy spoon eateries greeting them while on their way to flights.

So, next time you’re at the airport and have time for a meal, stop at one that serves the freshest and healthiest foods. And when finishing your meal, buy a take-out package for when aboard your flight. We’re sure you’ve noted that in-air airline food keeps getting more expensive and less edible.

Curiosity killed the cat, so just peeking into the mini bar could automatically show up as catastrophic room charges. Even if you don’t take anything, the employee who daily checks the little boxes could miscount and add charges.

When you check out, carefully read your hotel's itemized bill, and if you see wrong mini bar charges, dispute them. Most front desk clerks will cancel the charges.
