An airport is a gateway to the world—a place buzzing with travelers, airplanes, and countless stories waiting to unfold. But beyond the flights and terminals, airports can also be a playground for the mind. “Airport Riddles” bring a playful twist to the travel experience—puzzles that make you think, smile, and sometimes groan as you wait for your next boarding call.
