That 11-hour flight just got a lot more glamorous.
PETROSSIAN, LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, TOM BRADLEY INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL
Ragged from that trans-continental flight? Maybe some champagne and Royal Transmontanus caviar can take the edge off. At LAX’s newly renovated international terminal, the caviar dynasty Petrossian’s tastefully designed bar might be one of the world’s glitziest airport hangouts. And if you’re peckish but late, grab a $1,500 pre-packed picnic bag with caviar, blinis, and creme fraiche in an insulated signature pouch for your trip.

A who’s-who of local food talent has upped Pearson’s eating game lately, but this sexy, low-lit addition from Susur Lee—Toronto’s Asian-fusion king—stands out with his signature pan-roasted black cod, cheeseburger spring rolls, and the Indian-accented chicken that took him to triumph on Top Chef Masters.There’s also a terrific dim sum menu inspired by Luckee, Lee’s newest Toronto hotspot.
BY MALENE BIRGER, COPENHAGEN AIRPORT, TERMINAL 3
With brands like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marimekko, and Tiger of Sweden, Copenhagen’s sleek airport can compete with any upscale mall. But it’s Danish designer Malene Birger’s retro-inspired, beautifully draped pieces that stand out. At her only airport location in the world, look for signature styles like a liquid-looking silk shirt and laser-cut cotton trousers.
