A Polish and a Light Chardonnay

Charlotte, North Carolina's airport may be only the nation's 17th busiest airport but I'd put it high on the list of best amenities. Let's hear it for a little pampering for women business travelers who spend their work days darting from airport to airport and can use only so many T-shirts. Found one evening at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport some smart choices -- a nail salon, not far down the aisle from a wine bar featuring North Carolina products from the Yadkin Valley. I'm waiting for the fitness center and spa. Now a busy US Airways hub, with a spacious and welcoming US Airways Club open to Star Alliance members, Charlotte's easily managed airport has promise for those of us who must use our flight transfer hours most productively.
