    There is no Clear here so don’t count on that as a time savings.

    The wine bar in the center of the main terminal is decent. Try a wine flight and cheese pairing.

    The train ride is pretty fun. How do they keep the alligators off the runway?

    Don't hit TSA security between 3:30 - 4:30 am. Shift change and NOone is at the checkpoint. Free WiFi is nice, place is clean.

    If you're flying JetBlue and you're not checking a bag, print out your boarding pass at home to avoid the ridiculous kiosk line. Only one machine works at times!

    When parking in Long Term Parking, try for the 5th floor Wright Brothers parking area. It's the first stop when you leave the airport.
