✈️ Our emotions are soaring high today, as we get to help break the news that Winter Haven’s very own Flight Line Cafe & Catering Restaurant will soon be featured in a new series on Netflix.

The iconic + highly-rated airport restaurant will premier as the pilot episode (because, of course) on the show “American Road Trip,“ where Host and Director Brad Lyon, takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the best restaurants, bars, clubs + more in the U.S.
