More cell phone charging ports Posted by on May 19, 2019

Please add many more charging ports/ electrical outlets, throughout the airport. Access to charging stations is very scarce, and then makes passengers agitated and argumentative with eachother. This is very important to update access to charging stations.

Big bad Metro isn't so "bad" anymore! Posted by SPAflyer on November 29, 2007

For years Metro Airport was the poster boy for dark and dank terminals. It was a truly disgusting airport.
Today, it is state-of-the-art in every way. I love flying through here.
