'LAX AT HOME' CONNECTS AIRPORT, COMMUNITY AS ANGELENOS STAY SAFER AT HOME
|
|
|
(Los Angeles, CA) As communities throughout California and the world fight the spread of COVID-19 by staying safer at home and avoiding non-essential travel, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) continues to engage our communities – from the youngest to the oldest – with activities that are perfect for avid travelers.
Since most people are staying home, we are bringing LAX into their homes, with a variety of engaging, educational and fun activities and content that capture the spirit of LAX during a time when most people can't physically visit the airport. From virtual tours of our award-winning art program, to video visits with our Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUPs), to games and coloring activities, there is something for everyone.
Here's a look at what's available now and ongoing as part of LAX At Home.
