Five CVG Travel Destination Deals to Book This Winter
Get out and see the world! Machu Picchu, Peru.Winter is one of my favorite times of the year to travel (and plan more travel!). You have the perfect combination of smaller crowds and cooler temperatures in popular destinations that don’t offer air conditioning during heatwaves. There are also some phenomenal deals, especially in early December and January through March. (We paid $386 in October for a roundtrip ticket to Paris from CVG in March!)So, pack a coat and some comfy walking shoes, and let me introduce you to five of my favorite winter destinations from CVG.The JW Marriott Miami Golf Course looks incredible. Photo: VisitFlorida#1 The Sunshine of Miami / Ft. LauderdaleFlorida is one of the most popular destinations for travelers from the Cincy region. It’s so nice to escape those gloomy, chilly winter days and spend a weekend (or a week) basking in the sun.Winter is everyone’s favorite time to escape to the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale area. By this time of year, the rainy season has wrapped up, and the risk of a hurricane interrupting your plans is nearly zero. Bars and restaurants are hopping, and there’s a wonderful rejuvenating energy in the warm air.The Ft. Lauderdale Lighthouse at Hillsboro Inlet Beach at Pompano Beach. Photo: VisitFloridaWith nonstop flights on American, Allegiant, Delta, and Frontier, it’s easy to plan a long weekend that fits your schedule. And if it does happen to rain, step into one of the excellent indoor activities like the [Museum of Discovery and Science](https://mods.org/), [NSU Art Museum](https://nsuartmuseum.org/), [Institute of Contemporary Art](https://icamiami.org/), or the giant guitar-shaped [Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.](https://casino.hardrock.com/hollywood)Are you looking for more Florida tips? Check out these [Fabulous Florida Finds](https://www.cvgairport.com/jetwithjay/four-tips-to-help-plan-your-last-minute-florida-vacation/).The face when you find out what happened inside The Tower of London#2 Lovely LondonA few years ago, I asked my wife, “hey, flights are on sale… want to go to London for Thanksgiving?” Of course, she said yes, and we spent four days exploring the city.Patiently waiting for the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace.Now, it’s easier than ever to get to London with nonstop service on [British Airways](https://www.britishairways.com/travel/home/public/en_us/). (We could have almost had a full fifth day on our trip with the time we’d have saved on a connecting flight.) With four nonstop flights departing each week from November through March—and five flights per week April through October—it’s only about a 7.5-hour plane ride from CVG to Heathrow. The departure time is perfect, generally between 9pm and 10pm, allowing you to save a vacation day, leave after work, have dinner onboard, fall asleep, and wake up around 10am local time.You might even catch a few holiday light displays in London.You’ll enjoy the charm of the city as you take in famous sights like the [Tower of London](https://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/) and [Buckingham Palace](https://www.rct.uk/visit/buckingham-palace). Stroll along the [River Thames](https://www.visitthames.co.uk/about-the-river), and try some authentic British cuisine.

I made it my first big solo trip at the age of 18. After one visit, I knew I wanted to move there and was lucky enough to spend about two years in my early twenties in one of the tiniest apartments you’ve ever seen. Seriously, it was 170 square feet!If you’ve had a chance to visit, you know there’s something special about the city. There’s an energy that draws people back again and again, and winter is an awesome time to go. Temperatures can often be quite comfortable (although you might see a little snowy magic), and the kids are back in school so there are shorter lines at popular attractions like the [Empire State Building](https://www.esbnyc.com/), [Statue of Liberty](https://www.nps.gov/stli/), and [Ellis Island](https://www.nps.gov/elis/). Take a ride on the [Staten Island Ferry](https://siferry.com/), or stroll through [Central Park](https://www.centralparknyc.org/) (grab a sandwich and drinks from a deli for an inexpensive picnic lunch)!There are so many ways to get to the City: many days at CVG, there are more than 20 nonstop flights offered to the three airports that serve the Big Apple (LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, NJ). Even better? You can pick your favorite airline as American, Delta, United, Frontier, and Allegiant all offer nonstop service! And hey, don’t be afraid to take the [Subway](https://new.mta.info/maps). Everyone else does!Beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado#4 The Rocky Mountains of ColoradoIf it feels like I’m always recommending Colorado, you’re right. And there are many good reasons. Colorado is gorgeous any time of the year, but skiing, snowboarding, winter fishing, and hiking draw tourists from around the world each winter. Nonstop flights to [Denver](https://www.denver.org/) on United, Frontier, and Southwest can be very inexpensive (sometimes on sale for around $125 round trip), and there’s a lot to see and do.The obvious attractions are some of the best ski resorts in the country. But if you aren’t big into skiing, it’s also the perfect time to visit charming mountain towns like [Estes Park](https://www.visitestespark.com/), [Breckenridge](https://gobreck.com/), [Idaho Springs](https://visitclearcreek.com/towns/idaho-springs-colorado/), [Silverthorne](https://www.silverthorne.org/), and [Golden](https://www.visitgolden.com/). Shops and restaurants are bustling, and towns spring to life after fall break. Another tip if you’re trying to find affordable accommodations and you aren’t there to hit the slopes is to look at towns at the base of the mountains or in areas away from ski resorts. Denver enjoys about 300 days of sunshine every year and is a great place to spend a few days.For the colder/rainier/snowier days, there are many options, including breweries, indoor kids’ play areas, outlet malls, and cozy bookstores. Check out more [Jet with Jay recommendations](https://www.cvgairport.com/jetwithjay/heres-why-colorado-should-be-your-next-vacation/) for your mountain vacation.We made it to Machu Picchu!#5 Lima, Peru (and beyond)Speaking of mountains, one of the biggest bucket list travel destinations—and most Instagrammed places on Earth—is [Machu Picchu](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/274/), Peru. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to step foot in such a magical place. We spent two weeks in Peru, and it was one of the most life-changing trips I’ve ever taken. Flying into Lima is easy with one-stop options from CVG on American, Delta, and United. And the flight time isn’t too bad at all. Once you get to Atlanta or Miami to connect, for instance, it’s only another five or six hours onward to Peru. Winter is a great time to visit, especially for last-minute types like me. With fewer crowds, wait times are shorter for attractions, and you may not have to book in advance for some popular destinations. (But double-check to be safe.) Musicians and dancing in Lima, Peru.We enjoyed our visit to the [Sacred Valley](https://www.peruforless.com/travel-guides/sacred-valley) with stops in [Pisac](https://www.machutravelperu.com/blog/pisac), [Ollantaytambo](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g294319-Ollantaytambo_Sacred_Valley_Cusco_Region-Vacations.html), [Aguas Calientes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aguas_Calientes,_Peru), Machu Picchu, and [Cuzco](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/273/). The natural beauty, warm and friendly people, and affordable prices make this an outstanding adventure for solo travelers, couples, or families. It’s important to note that December through March is the rainy season, and some attractions can be closed or have limited operating hours. The end of March can be great for mild weather and good deals.Ceviche is always a good idea. Lima, Peru.Have a great winter travel idea? I’d love to hear it!

Making a difference: CVG and the University of Kentucky host panel discussion to inspire change for wheelchair users
Cassie Kiser / CVG Airport / November 15, 2024Many travelers share a common thought: I will feel better once I get through the security line and find my gate.Some passengers traveling with disabilities, such as Dr. Kara Ayers, “just want to have the same worries that all the other frenzied air travelers do.”Dr. Kara Ayers is with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and is also associate director at the University of Cincinnati Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. She is an expert in accessible travel, not only because of her professional and academic expertise, but also because she uses a wheelchair full-time and often travels through the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). Although Dr. Ayers is familiar with flying with a wheelchair, millions of Americans choose not to travel by air with their wheelchair because of historical inadequate practices. CVG Airport is committed to making flying more accessible for all. In spring 2024, [CVG hosted a virtual wheelchair accessibility panel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9a8M9huLto) in partnership with the [University of Kentucky’s Human Development Institute](https://hdi.uky.edu/). The goal of the panel was to discuss opportunities for the advancement of accessibility in air travel and to inspire change across the aviation industry. Four full-time wheelchair users, including Dr. Ayers, shared their experiences of flying through CVG and throughout the world. The conversation was moderated by UK’s Jason Jones and was also attended by David Allgood from the Kentucky Center for Accessible Living and Paul Erway of Superior Van and Mobility. During the conversation, the panelists praised CVG’s accessible environment including the airport’s easy-to-navigate, wide hallways. The panelists also said they appreciated familiar faces of employees at CVG. L-R top row: Dr. Kara Ayers, Jason Jones\L-R bottom row: David Allgood, Paul ErwayThe panelists also highlighted improvements that could be considered across the aviation industry. The group spoke about misconceptions when they travel by air. For example, many times they have experienced being assigned an aisle seat on the plane due to the perception that it may be easier for them to transfer from their wheelchair to their assigned seat. Dr. Ayers shed light on how that is not always the easiest and preferred option. “Because I pre-board, that means that I'm already on the plane. I can't get up, so the person who is sitting in the window seat literally [has to] climb over me. For that reason, I would actually prefer a window seat because I can get in that just fine,” said Dr. Ayers. Jones said he often has an experience when a person incorrectly assumes he cannot make decisions for himself and asks questions to the person he is traveling with instead of directly speaking with him. He said another common frustration involves fellow travelers seeing people who are in wheelchairs and choosing not to speak to them because they are afraid of making a mistake. “Don’t miss out on developing a relationship with somebody because you’re scared that you’re going to do something wrong…at the end of the day, it’s about inclusion and making everybody feel like they're part of something,” said Jones. Each of these experts underscore the importance of others recognizing that a wheelchair is an extension of a disabled person’s body. It is critical for wheelchairs to be taken good care of by aviation workers. In addition, wheelchair users can take advantage of accessibility resources that CVG has made available. - CVG has a familiarization tour program that is available to all travelers who would like to receive first-hand experience of the airport journey before their trip, including navigating from ticketing counters on arrival through boarding at the gate. [Click here](https://www.cvgairport.com/business/cvg-tours/) to learn more and request such a tour.- All travelers can contact their airline in advance of travel to communicate specific needs and request accommodations. For wheelchair users, this is a good opportunity to discuss your device’s specific care instructions.- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) offers personalized assistance during screening through the [TSA Cares program](https://www.tsa.gov/travel/tsa-cares/disabilities-and-medical-conditions). [Contact TSA in advance](https://www.tsa.gov/contact-center/form/cares) of travel to request this service. These panelists remain optimistic that air travel will continue to be transformed as new accessibility technologies are developed and as airports, airlines, government agencies, and advocacy groups continue to collaborate. Through continued communication, research, and advocacy, air travel will continue to be an equitable mode of transportation for all.All those who travel through CVG are invited to be a part of the conversation.

Five questions with Larry Krauter, CVG’s incoming CEO
November 13, 2024On November 13, 2024, CVG’s board announced that Lawrence J. Krauter, A.A.E., AICP, will succeed Candace McGraw as the airport’s CEO in 2025. Mr. Krauter is a 36-year veteran of the airport industry and currently serves as CEO of Spokane’s (Washington) Airport System, a role in which he has served since 2011.Get to know Larry a bit better and learn why airports and the aviation industry are his passion and life’s work by reading through these five Q&As. 1. Why did you choose a career in airport leadership?During my early childhood, my father traveled often for work, and I remember the excitement of being at the airport to see him off or to welcome him home. There was always so much activity, and the hustle and bustle of workers and passengers made a big impression on me that the airport was an important place. I was also able to fly with my dad from time to time on some of his trips, and I recall being brought up to the cockpit of an Eastern Airlines 727 to meet the flight crew and receive my plastic wings. When I was 11 years old, I announced that I would attend Ohio State University and major in aviation. I had always been interested in public service, as well as city and regional planning, so a career in airport management combined all of those passions. Airports are incredibly complex organizations that must be safe, efficient and financially viable. I have told people many times, in addition to being a leader, I am a serious public servant and a serious business person.2. What has been your proudest professional accomplishment?After 36 years serving in the industry, that is a difficult question to answer as there have been many of those moments! For me, it is about helping people to achieve their professional goals and to be the absolute best that they can be. That translates to the entire airport team being renowned for their abilities and for what we can deliver as a team. I am also proud of developing leaders in the airport management profession. This is followed closely by achieving substantial job creation and economic impact at the airports I have served. A job is the pathway to prosperity and a good life, and supporting regional economic development is something that I have excelled at and enjoy. Finally, I will add that I enjoy solving complex challenges, whether that is in terms of delivering world-class facilities and service or achieving legislative goals. The opportunity to work in such an intellectually demanding role and to be recognized as a leader in the airport management profession is very satisfying.3. What excites you most about the future of the aviation industry?Two things. Airport development is economic development, and aviation can serve as a catalyst for so much more investment in a region, as well as enabling new opportunities through achieving greater connectivity on a global basis. Airports are just at the beginning of being recognized and understood for the true businesses that they are as opposed to being thought of as utilities. ‘Airport Cities’ will continue to develop around innovative transportation and logistics solutions that are driven by airports and their business partners. The airports that achieve this faster will break into new levels of prosperity for their communities.The second thing that excites me are the people that make the vision happen and the excitement around recruiting top talent into the industry, retaining that talent, upskilling that talent, developing leaders and creating a team environment that allows growth and drives outsized results.4. Tell us a little about your family.I have a wonderful and supportive spouse, Robin, and we have been married for over 22 years. She is an accomplished insurance industry professional and an incredible mother to our daughter, Lauren, who is in her senior year at Cal Poly majoring in animal science with the goal to become a veterinarian. We also have an Australian Shepherd named Kalla and an Orange Tabby cat named Scotchy that we have been housing until Lauren reclaims her when she graduates.5. What do you like to do when not working?I enjoy reading, flying general aviation aircraft (I am a single-engine land and seaplane rated pilot) and perennial gardening (Robin is in charge of annuals!).Learn more

How To Get Through Airport Security Faster?
Navigating airport security can be a stressful and time-consuming process for travelers. From long lines to strict regulations to invasive searches, getting through TSA can be a challenge. There are, however, a few simple things you can do to expedite the process. Learn the tips and tricks you need to know to get through airport security faster.Preparing for the AirportBefore you leave for the airport, there are several steps you can take to help you get through security quickly and efficiently. Good planning and organization can dramatically reduce your time spent in line and your overall stress levels.Packing Tips to Streamline Security ScreeningPack your carry-on bag tightly but logically to help TSA officers get a clear, unobstructed view during their X-ray analysis. Liquids, gels, and aerosols should be placed in a 1-quart-sized, clear, plastic zip-top bag. Each item should be in a 3.4-ounce or smaller container. Keeping all electronic items, such as laptops or tablets, at the top of your bag can be helpful. Any bulky items that might obscure a clear view of your bag's contents, such as jackets, should be packed at the top.Organizing Documents and Essentials for Quick AccessHave all your necessary documents, like your ID and boarding pass, ready to hand over to the TSA officer. Consider using a travel wallet or organizer to keep everything in one place, which will help you access them quickly and move through the line faster. If possible, check in online for your flight and keep a digital copy of your boarding pass on your phone just in case you misplace the paper copy.Navigating the Security CheckpointThe more you know about the security checkpoint, the better. Make sure you understand the guidelines surrounding the checkpoint and what you can do for expedited checks and screenings to speed up the processTSA Guidelines and RegulationsKnowing the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rules can expedite your time at the security checkpoint. Familiarize yourself with the TSA's list of permitted and prohibited items to avoid unnecessary delays due to confiscated possessions. Remember the 3-1-1 rule for carry-on liquids mentioned in the packing section.Tips for Expedited Document Checks and Security ScreeningWhen you approach the security checkpoint, have your ID and boarding pass ready. Remove your shoes, belt, light jacket, and bulky jewelry, and place them along with your neatly packed carry-on luggage in the provided bin for X-ray screening. Keep your laptop and other large electronics separate, as these need individual screening.Utilizing TSA PreCheck and ClearSigning up for programs like TSA PreCheck and Clear can significantly improve your airport security experience. These programs allow expedited security screening, during which you do not need to remove your shoes, belt, or light jacket.To enjoy the benefits of TSA PreCheck, just apply online, pay a fee, and schedule a brief, in-person background check. For Clear, you enroll online by filling in a form, verifying your details in person, and providing your biometrics at a Clear location.Technology and Tools for Faster Security ChecksMany smart luggage options come with features designed to speed up the TSA screening process, like removable batteries and easy-access compartments. Travel accessories like clear cosmetic bags or TSA-approved travel containers can also facilitate smoother security screening.Airlines and airports may also provide mobile apps that let you check in, provide real-time flight information, and even updates on security line wait times.Insider Tips from Travel ExpertsTravel experts recommend arriving early to avoid the stress of rushing and allow ample time to navigate potential delays. They also suggest dressing smartly for airport security by avoiding items that might set off metal detectors, such as bulky jewelry or belts. Try to practice patience and maintain a positive attitude, even if there are delays.Enjoy Your Next Vacation Faster With Expedited Security ChecksAirport security doesn't have to be stressful.
