Miami International Airport —
MIA boasts an art collection that Americans for the Arts declared one of the best public art projects in the nation. Just getting there through the airport's walkways can be an artsy thrill.

San Francisco International Airport —
Back at SFO's International Terminal already? Those round-trips fly by in a hurry when you're hanging out in airports as swanky as these.
