Road trip Scavenger Hunt
Airport Scavenger Hunt 
Letter Scavenger Hunt - If you have a young toddler, they can call out when they recognize a letter on license plates, road signs, signs at airport, etc. If you have an an older toddler/preschooler (around 3+), they can use a dot marker to mark the letter once they've seen it and make it a game like bingo, where the first to get a line "wins."
If your child is currently learning the phonetic sounds of letters, i.e. Gg makes a "guh" sound, you can also work together to look for objects that start with that letter. 
Road Sign Scavenger Hunt
Colour Hunt - play 'i spy' and look for all the different colours while on the road, at the airport, at a rest stop, waiting in lines, etc. 
Dot Printables - these are great for restaurants. Toss a couple in a bag with some dot markers.
