Typically, the expression “dining with a view” refers to restaurants with vistas of picturesque landscapes or sparkling waterfronts. However, just like many things in life, all views are NOT created equal. This is something you’ll quickly learn when you visit Jet-a-Way Café. The airport-based café not only serves up a delicious homemade fare, but also treats diners to close-up views of planes.
In 2015, Stennis International Airport in Kiln, MS debuted its new terminal, Million Air Stennis.
In addition to Jet-a-Way Café, which occupies a majority of the 2nd floor, the state-of-the-art terminal features two passenger lobbies, a sleeping room for pilots, a meeting room, and a movie theater.
The sweeping view of the runway is the perfect complement to any meal. And while the vistas are reason enough to visit Jet-a-Way Café, they’re not the only reason.
