The departure terminal is new to us since our last visit in November. What a difference a few months makes. Everything is new upstairs and we got through customs and immigration fairly quickly.

There are several stores to shop for electronics, perfume, snacks, and liquor. Domino’s, a Bistro with a few tables and an ice cream/crepe kiosk.

The crêpe chaos had several sweet or savory crêpes. The savory crêpes were very basic. No creams or sauces just ham and cheese and they had a chicken one . I got the ham and cheese crêpe. It was made with a pre-shredded mixed blend cheese and 3 Slices of ham. The crêpe batter was nice so I enjoyed it and David got a Nathan‘s hotdog. The crêpe, hotdog and bottled water was $19.

Our plane departed from downstairs and boy was that a mess. That area is still under construction and now it’s a quarter of the size of what it was before. I believe there was only two operational gates. They bussed us to our plane.

Our flight wasn’t nearly as full as the one we took last Saturday from JFK. We had the row to ourselves. Both flights were fairly free of turbulence, which is always a nice thing.

David and I had a great trip. We kept it low-key. Relaxed, casual dinners with everyday at the beach.

We didn’t encounter any traffic jams the three days that we went to Orient Beach. It didn’t take us more than 30 minutes from Beacon Hill to Orient.

The sun was very strong this trip, high UV rays with a lot of wind.More wind than we can remember on any past April visit.

Looking forward to our trip in the Fall.

After having departed upstairs in March, I feel for anyone who departs from downstairs. I am sorry, no excuse for the time this mess has taken.

Glad that you guys arrived home safe.

We departed from downstairs in December, and we didn't find it unbearable. We did stay upstairs until about twenty minutes before our flight was to board, but we were still able to find two seats together while waiting.

When we left at the end of March, our United flight boarded from the "C" gate. They are the opposite end of the building from the dreaded "B" gates. With C, you stay upstairs until yuor flight is called and walk down a flight of stairs and get on the bus. Not too bad at all.

Louise--glad you made it home ok. It sounds like it is much better to stay upstairs until time to board, as downstairs sounds like a total zoo. Apparently we will get the 'pleasure' of enduring that in June.

So glad you had a relaxing trip, good flights & good food.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the reports. I always enjoy reading them and finding things to add to our list for next trip!

Glad you enjoyed your trip and made it home safely. Thanks for all the information you contribute to this site.

Sorry we were not there to "bump" into you and David. Sounds like an almost perfect week!

Agree missed seeing you both.

Thanks all for following along.

Thanks again for all your reports and pictures. Very enjoyable and I particularly like your food reviews.

Thank you Linda.

Louise,

Glad your trip was unblemished and as was the case with so many others here, your trip reports made my day. Beautifully done and thoroughly appreciated. TY!! 👏👏
