Northwest Arkansas National Airport

Parker's Anchor, that was filmed right here.

We filmed at XNA, the airport.

We filmed all over.

Tons of local faces, tons of local people.

Helsinki to Chicago...

And then Chicago to XNA.

And although in this little thing that Mark has written here, it says XNA to ORD, which is incorrect.

It's ORD to XNA.

So I'm correcting that right now.

So it'll be correct.

But XNA is our airport code if you ever wanna come see us.

Northwest Arkansas airport or Bentonville.

We went from...

XNA to Orlando.

No, to Chicago.

Sorry.

Did I tell you that Mark and I won an airport code abbreviation contest? How would you ever guess that? So we're flying from Chicago to DFW.

I don't know why.

It seems like we should have flown directly from XNA to Dallas.

Instead of XNA to Chicago and then Chicago to Dallas.

I was just looking from Japan to anywhere in the US, found something to Los Angeles, and then was like, "Can we tack it all the way to Denver?" We could.

So United is great if you tend to be flying from a small airport like Bentonville, Arkansas, XNA.

They happen to have some United flights, and you can do a positioning flight to Houston or something, and then get a good flight from Houston over to Europe or Asia.

If you have a large family, the pool points are nice for United, but there's also a thing where card members can link up to eight children's accounts under 18 to share, like, different points, and earning rates, and award discounts, so that's pretty good, too.

He will succeed Bill Gossage, also a former Republican state lawmaker, as chief of External Affairs after Gossage retires in January.

And the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences announced they have installed a new telehealth booth at Northwest Arkansas National Airport.

UAMS says in a press release that the booth at XNA will provide travelers, airport staff, and the public access to on-demand healthcare, no ticket required.

The private soundproof booth is located near the baggage claim area outside the security checkpoint.

It runs from, uh, Highway 49 and then ties into 612.

They call it the 612 bypass just south of XNA Airport.

Um, and that was a large hard bid project that we won for, for the state of Arkansas.

It was an, what they call an A plus C project.

And a lot of it was, we made that a trip.

We flew up to XNA up there in Fayetteville.

And so we stayed an extra night.

There's a lodge, a state park with a couple lodges up there that I know of that are kind of a secret that we go to and kind of treat it as a... a little mini camp you know when we're there um and so i think they always enjoy that trip uh we're gonna we're going to tallahassee this year um and so that's you know they just hosted the world world um world championships and cross, uh, that in this past January.
