If you're in concourse B, skip greasy McDonalds and try a sandwich at Talyor Street Market.

Better charge up all your devices. Plug in outlets here are hard to find and if you do find one you'll be standing up waiting for your device to charge

Take the orange line into downtown. It's fast

Make sure you fly southwest

This place is a culinary void. The food is gross. The hot dog place was decent the people were nice in the end it's a hotdog on a dry bun.

Airport is packed at all times. Not enough seats at gates. Had to sit on the floor for an hour before flight

Slowest employees at each deli, cafe, restaurant. 4th time here in 3 weeks and it's the same.

For an airport that's known for delays, they sure as hell close shops early

The expert lane is not what it used to be. You can only have one bag- meaning if you have a purse that is your one bag.

Don't get coffee from the Hudson News in the food court. Was being lazy and wanted to buy a paper from the same place i got coffee. Bad move.

Small but beautiful airport.
Glen MacDonellJuly 21, 2011
Southwest has an iPhone app, but you need a paper boarding pass to get through security.

Southwest has nice chairs and electricity

Why they got rid of the separate security lines for families vs. single travelers... I'll never know.
