    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.

    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 :)

    Free wifi. Near Gate A12 are generously sized and powered workstations. Can order food from Sam Snead's Grill to be delivered to your workstation.

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

    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.

    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.

    For the least amount of walking from long term parking, go to level 2 an hang a right as far as you can go towards the walkway.
