For travelers at Austin-Bergstrom Inter- national Airport, the little-known outdoor patio is once again open to the public. The details The outdoor patio, located near Gate 2, offers front-row views of planes taking off and landing on the airport’s two runways. After a two-year stint as a private lounge, the space has reopened daily for communal use from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. and includes lounge chairs, picnic tables and shade. As progress moves forward on the airport’s roughly $4 billion expansion project, the West Gate Terminal Expansion—on the opposite side of the airport—will also include a new mezzanine with another public outdoor bal- cony as well as indoor seating and a viewing area over the concourse.
