Earlier this month in New York, Jose Cuervo set up a pop-up experiential promotion made from repurposed aircraft parts. The lounge, known as the Rolling Stone Tour Plane Experience, was one segment of a broader campaign for the brand, inspired by the Rolling Stones' rowdy 1972 tour. The tour plane, featuring the band’s unmistakable logo, was the inspiration for the Air Hollywood installation.

For its 2009 Once Upon a Time gala in Chicago, the Children's Place Association printed table numbers on cards designed to look like passports.

The American Cancer Society’s Discovery Ball in 2013 in Chicago was dubbed “Passport to Discovery” and had a time-travel theme. As a nod to the nonprofit’s 100-year past, as well as its present and future, the fund-raiser drew inspiration from an old-fashioned train station, with props and decor including suitcases, trunks, and old street lamps. The registration desk was decorated to resemble a ticket counter.

To match the train theme at the Chicago Botanic Garden event, lampshades bore map imagery, clock numbers and gears wrapped tall lamps, and suitcases were stacked inside the bars.
