You can see the complete lists on the Bing Maps blog with a full explanation on how not to get lost in an airport. There are a couple of ways to use Bing Airport Maps:
Use Bing Search: Search normally by typing in the name airport, city, or the code. One of the search results will display the map of the airport for that particular city. For instance, I searched with “New York airport”.
Search by flight status: This is a more direct way to search as the search result takes you to the terminus point (both arrival and departure) on the map.
You can locate check-in counters, baggage claims, duty free shops, restaurants, and sundry other points located around the airport at various levels. You can also view the map according to the various levels at the airport. Plus filter the locations by categories like – Stores & Services, Apparels, Restaurants etc.
Bing Airport Maps is not only an important directional aid for you, but also for someone who is coming to the city for the first time. You can email the directions or send them via SMS so that they know there way around. Wouldn’t you like Bing to cover the airport in your part of the world?
