Georgia airport terminal building evacuated due to ‘security risk’

Best airports in the country 1. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport: "SAV is not a particularly busy airport, but it’s that smallness, not to mention its town square–inspired layout, that makes it feel intimate and inviting. Travelers might feel as if they’ve been transported back in time to a historic Southern street, complete with benches and a large clock. Here, they can shop for cigars or golfing gear and dine at the PGA Tour Grill. It might come as little surprise that this Georgia airport was once named the “happiest” in the country—in a survey by a dating site, no less," Conde Nast Traveler said.
