The Orlando International Airport set up a Festivus pole for weary travelers on Saturday, complete with an invitation to air grievances — and a request to please not use the pole for dancing.
Festivus, of course, is the December 23 holiday popularized by a 1997 episode of Seinfeld that includes celebrations that include a Festivus pole (unadorned because Frank Constanza says tinsel is “distracting”), airing of grievances, and feats of strength.
MCO, which draws its airport code from its previous identity as McCoy AFB, set up the pole along with a comment box where travelers could submit their grievances, posting photos on its social media accounts and getting lots of positive comments in response.
