Lack of seating at gates. Posted by on October 21, 2018

Lack of seats in U.S terminal for passengers waiting to board. Pity because there is enough room to double the seating capacity in the terminal.

Best Systems Ever Posted by on March 5, 2018

This airport has the best systems I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure they have a great Business Analyst behind most of them

A well-laid out airport, acceptable length of security lines, and the prices at the restaurants are basically the same as off-airport. Parking is free for the first 30 minutes - a wonderful bonus when just dropping by to pick up a passenger.
