INDeed it's (almost) here. And I don't want you to miss the biggest pieces of news taking flight from Indy!

In case you haven't heard [here, here, oh, and here], the new Indianapolis International Airport officially opens tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 11. Arrivals are set to transition to the new terminal around 8 p.m.. We're honored that this first arrival at the new IND will be a homecoming for one of our troops in Iraq. Departures will begin taking off from the new Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal bright and early Wednesday morning.

If you have some Indianapolis travel plans in your future, be sure to check out the Taking Flight user guide from The Indianapolis Star. They've got you covered, from getting to your interstate exit point and checking in to passing through security and finding departures and arrivals. They've also got the scoop on airport retail, where you can indulge in a famous St. Elmo shrimp cocktail between flights and the anticipated LEED certification for the environmentally-friendly terminal. And it's still just a short 15-minute drive from the airport to downtown Indianapolis!
