The upgrade of the Billings Logan International Airport is taking place with the announcement of more amenities now available to travelers.

According to the @FlyBillings Twitter page, a new bar has opened in the Great Room that offers a "new full liquor bar" that promises to have "amazing views."

Visitors who are departing BIL can now enjoy their favorite alcoholic beverage before taking off, which immediately brings to mind the Dierks Bentley country song "Drunk On A Plane."

By the way, Dierks Bentley may be flying through Billings Logan International Airport for a show he's playing at First Interstate Arena in September.

After having an adult beverage, it's always good to hydrate before the flight and there's a new water refill station in Terminal A.

According to the post on social media, you can head through security with an empty bottle and "get your refreshment on before hopping on your flight!"

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years.
