The Airport Maps for Bing
Bing announced detailed airport maps as the newest addition to our popular venue maps for Bing Maps. The new airport maps give you everything you need to navigate your way through your travels. Airport maps include information on parking garages, ticket counter location, terminals and gates, baggage claims, currency exchange and more! You’ll also see a sortable directory of airlines, cafes and restaurants.
Finding Airport Maps
They’ve made locating airport maps an easy task from your desktop. There are two ways to do this:
1. Just search for the airport (by name, city, or even code) on Bing Maps, and zoom in using map.
2. Search for your flight status on Bing (for example: CO 1665), and click on the map link besides the airport to see its map.
