Everything youasked about.

Every airport is designed in Adobe Illustrator, built from published aviation charts, public aerodrome data, and OpenStreetMap vectors. The geometry is real; the visual language is ours. These are not generative AI images.

Prints that use OpenStreetMap data carry a faint copyright credit along the bottom edge. That's required by OSM's license, and we keep it small enough not to interfere with the design.

Some airport layouts fit better in an east-up orientation. We prioritize filling the print space over keeping the print north-up. In fact, the FAA does this too on their official pilot charts. Some of our customers want north-up no matter what, and we have that option! There's a north-up toggle right on the product page. If in doubt, go with the original layout. Every print has a true-north arrow in the header regardless of orientation.

Our minimal series is built around clean geometry, and labels would crowd it. We're exploring a labeled series for the future. In the meantime, if you want labels added to a specific print, our paid design service can do it (see Can I customize my print? below).

We follow the principle aviation charts use: include what's on airport property, skip the rest. Very small buildings are usually omitted too. They tend to clutter the design at print sizes. If a specific building matters to you, email us. If it's on the field, we'll consider adding it. If it's off-property, we can add it via paid design.

We chose a range that fits the way people actually hang art: U.S. sizes in inches and A-series sizes in centimeters, both standard formats. Off-the-shelf frames in these sizes are easy to find anywhere, which is by design in case you'd rather not buy a frame from us.

When we launched in 2025, we started with six airports. Nearly every one of the 150+ we offer today began as a custom request. We'd rather design what people actually want than guess. If your airport isn't here yet, request it as a custom order. We'll design it at no charge, and the catalog grows every time someone asks.

Custom airport: free. If your airport isn't in our catalog yet, we'll design it for you at no cost. Once it's designed, we can offer it to the next person who asks.

Other customizations: paid. Hangars, extra labels, aircraft icons, alternate palettes, and similar tweaks. Our rate for custom design services is $75/hour and most customizations can be done in 30 minutes to an hour. Email help@artofaltitude.com with what you're after and we'll send a quote.

Orders over $50 ship free within the US. Orders under $50 ship for a flat $8. International shipping is coming soon.

All prints are made to order. Unframed prints typically ship within 2-4 business days; framed prints take 7-14. Our production partner works 7 days a week, but these are best estimates rather than guarantees. We ship via USPS, UPS, and Amazon Logistics; the carrier is picked based on your delivery address.

Not yet. Our fulfillment partner doesn't currently support it, though we hope to add it down the road. If you're working against a date, email us and we'll do what we can. Standard shipping times aren't guaranteed.

Our carrier captures a proof-of-delivery photo for every shipment, which we can pull and share on request. If the photo shows the package landed at the wrong address, we'll send a replacement at no cost. If it shows the package at your correct address, we will attempt to file a claim with the carrirer. There may be a charge for replacing your prints depending the outcome of that claim.

We stand behind every order. Email us with photos of: the packaging, the damage, the print or frame, and the shipping label on the box. The shipping label must be clearly legible. The carrier requires it to process our claim. We'll always make it right. Everything is made to order, so replacements take a little time.

We offer 30-day returns on every order. For preference-based returns, you cover return shipping and need to reuse the original packaging. Once the print and frame are back with us in the condition we sent them, we will refund the cost of the print and taxes minus the shipping costs paid for outbound shipping to you, if applicable. If your order included a multi-print discount and you return part of it, the refund will be adjusted to match the price of the remaining items once the discount no longer applies. Any pre-existing damage must be flagged before you initiate the return, and we recommend purchasing shipping insurance. Returns damaged in transit are evaluated case by case.

Some people find airports stressful. Others find them the best part of the trip, from the smell of jet fuel to the rhythm of pushbacks to the moment the gear comes up. Either way, certain airports tend to hold meaning: the field you flew out of on your honeymoon, the one you learned to fly at, the home base you've been at for twenty years. Every airport is unique as a fingerprint, shaped by geography, weather, and decades of aviation history. A print on the wall is part memory, part inspiration for the next trip, and a quiet way to let your avgeek flag fly.
