    If you fly Delta or United often, register for TSA PreCheck and you might be able to skip the long security lines. www.djgwk.com

    Not a fan of the "Immediate Unloading ONLY" for picking up for guests... You either have to keep circling or just sit in the SHORT TERM PARKING till your party is ready for pick-up.

    Modern airport with lots of space and dining options but oddly bifurcated and totally awkward baggage claim.

    If you need to catch a nap pre-flight... Head to the back of the Marriot, behind the Cafe Elise... Near the Grand Ballroom... Awesome couches and not a soul in sight :)

    Long term Goddard (brown) Floor 2 is closest to the walkways to the terminals - and faster than the long term parking monorail.

    The airport can have you redirected if you make a wrong turn. When exiting, please follow the signs and not the people because you will be in the wrong pick up area.

    If your bag is a "hair" over the dimensions you will have to check it. Flew here and no issues with ever fitting in overhead compartment.....bag Nazi got one of ours.

    Look for Maurice heading through security with his cat Bonkers. Give him a fist pound and tell him Jimbo says hi.

    thanks to gates in separate buildings, you may have to go through security again for a connecting flight. however the shuttles are quick!

    DON'T PARK IN LONG TERM PARKING!!! Park in ECONOMY PARKING instead and save a bundle! $9 a day instead of $15 & a free airport shuttle right to your airline.
