I would be interested to hear the answer to that question also. Plus, this has puzzled me. Many people have said the only concessions operating inside security are Dominos and some kind of a sandwich shop and a small, temporary bar. What happened to the HUGE bar downstairs? Is that still open? And in June this year, there was food there at that bar, all the way at the far end.

pandp--I kind of figured that might be the case. Was it walled off? I guess that area is now going to be part of the new arrival area or something?

Terri-- Thanks. Surprised no one has mentioned it before. If you're talking a water fountain, there has not been a water fountain at the airport for a very LONG time, I think ever since Irma. Cheap SOBs.

Cheap SOBs. No, I meant somewhere to buy a water. You had to use the elevator, if you were in a wheelchair to get upstairs, for food and drinks. Everything could be better now. They were carrying in the seats for people to sit, when we were sent downstairs. We would have been upstairs, since we were originally the early flight to arrive, but that didn't happen. It does look very nice in the new section upstairs.

OK, thanks everyone. Surprised more people haven't mentioned the lack of a real bar before now. Guess my view of things would be more critical.

Glad you got through so quickly. You were on Delta, and through in 30 minutes??? Were there people at the Delta check in desk, 4 hours before?? As others have reported there was no one there until 3 hours before.
As far as moving the plane, a pilot posted here that they would take the plane up to the terminal to begin with, even though people deplane down stairs, and then take the jetway out to the plane after, without moving the plane.
Regarding the executive lounge, that would be a good thing, to have that back again, after MORE than six years...

Carol, I think I was about 4 hours early. Maybe 3 and a half. But the check in people were there when I arrived. That must be a recent change as I personally know people who got an email from Delta to show up 4 hours early and nobody was at the counter. It has also been posted elsewhere about this happening. Hopefully things are starting to get figured out with departures. Now, IF they can get something resolved with the arrival process.
J.D.
