| - I have never seen so many bodies slumped on the floor, crouched under phone banks, sitting next to garbage cans all vying for precious power outlets to charge their phones/tablets/laptops. Here is my idea, feel free to steal it: open a coffee shop with carousels each equipped with a power outlet - better yet, time the outlet based on your purchase (lol!!!) every dollar spent gets you 3 minutes!!! EVIL
So, think about how this facility enhances your travel. I like the automated walkways, the art (yes, there's some art), the glitz of the slot machines, and the ads for shows, particularly in the huge baggage claim area. And baggage claim has improved noticeably, bags arrive very quickly from the plane. Free (but sometimes overloaded) WiFi.
How does it hamper or annoy? I hate waiting for the gate-terminal trams. Already mentioned the absence of power outlets. Not enough seating in the gate area. High priced food. WRETCHED security 'line management', and longer than necessary waits. No decent place to "chill". Airline checkin counters seem oddly inefficient, my SeaTac does far better. Finding your way to your rental car can be difficult for the unitiated.
Undoubtedly, for better or worse, I'll be back thru here. Keep trying!
