The best dressed Christmas Airports

This is usually one of our favourite blogs of the year; marvelling at the creative genuis the airports come up with to make their passengers feel extra festive. The aim is to help nudge passengers that little bit closer to the festive spirit, and we hope that you get to see some of these destinations first hand! However if your travels don’t take you through an airport this December, look no further than a round up of the best dressed Christmas decorations at airports around the world!

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Our European neighbours have shown how it’s done with a great array of Christmas lights on show at the main terminal. The tree’s looking great again this year but we’re a little sad that Father Christmas isn’t wondering through the baggage reclaim hall with last minute prezzies this time!

Orlando International Airport

Across the pond this time to Orlando International Airport who has a stand out Christmas theme that’s certainly attracted the attention of its passengers! Many travellers are keen to snap a pic in front of the wonderful tree sitting in the terminal; their 40ft wonder has made a return for this year.

Changi Airport

This year, Jewel Changi Airport has been transformed into a magical festive wonderland! For the first time ever, there’s a Disney Cruise Line-themed event, a stunning Christmas tree, and nightly snowfall sessions to set the holiday mood. Whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, it’s the perfect place to soak in the festive cheer.

Chicago O’Hare International Airport

This airport is known to be one of the most festive airports! In fact, it’s been named Best Airport in North American for the 19th year running!

Vancouver International Airport

Scuba Santa and Mrs. Claus stopped by YVR today for a dive in the International Terminal Aquarium, thanks to Vancouver Aquarium​. The holiday cheer is everywhere, with festive decorations, gingerbread cookies from the Treat Team, sparkling lights, photo spots, and live music throughout the terminal.

Heathrow Airport

Representing APS’ local airport, Heathrow yet again have put on a great display for their travellers in the month of December.

Atlanta Airport

Atlanta airport is full of festivity with its beautiful Christmas tree and people dressing up to sing along to various events taking place throughout the festive period!

Hong Kong International Airport

Back in Asia, in Hong Kong, they have a great display of a huge Christmas tree and a little Santa! It is a very cute display and we’re sure if you’re travelling with the little ones, they will enjoy this very much.

Zurich Airport

Over to Switzerland where Zurich Airport really treated their passengers to a great array of Christmas themes! In their airport park, they hosted the Zauberpark festival, this amazing festival had everything you could think of! What’s more, is that they even have a Christmas market within the airport!

Denver International Airport

Denver International Airport is full of holiday cheer this season! From pianists filling the air with festive music to carolers spreading joy, there’s magic everywhere. Travelers can even stop by Santa’s layover lounge or catch a visit from the big man himself.

We would love to know if you have seen any of these in person, or if we’ve missed an airport who’s done the Christmas fairies proud. Make sure to drop us a tweet letting us know @airportparkshop – Merry Christmas!
