Airports are complex and fast-moving environments filled with people traveling across the globe and workers keeping it all going―�and there are so many questions about how they work: How do the bags get to the planes? Why can’t people ride the luggage carousels? Do suitcases get mixed up? Do body scanners show people naked? Can snakes ride on a plane? Why can’t we open the windows on the plane? And where do planes go at night? These are just a few of the questions answered in this entertaining, informative, and thoroughly satisfying book.

With fun and hyper-�detailed illustrations by Maxim Usik, this volume presents airports as they've never been seen before: gateways to adventure as fascinating to explore and visually intriguing as the locations the planes jet off to! For anyone interested in flight, this book takes young readers behind the scenes to see the systems and precautions which make flying one of the safest ways to travel.

For ages 7+

Illustrated in color throughout
