    This is less of a question, more of a comment, but I had a connection at that airport once. Was unimpressed.

    First bar I went to didn’t have outlets at the bar or any of the tables. Pass. As I walked to another bar, I passed auntie annes. Got a free sample. The other bar was Mexican food which I’m not in the mood for. So I went back towards my gate and passed auntie Anne’s. Got another free sample. Now I’m at a bar by my gate. They have outlets at the bar. Bartender is very nice. Mickeys in aluminum bottles. Pizza seems to be the only meal item. 6.4/10 airport experience

    What are you flying? I feel like I don’t recognize that area. I only flew southwest and United when in tampa.

    How long did security take? Never longer than three mins for me with precheck.

    I made it from my kitchen to my gate in 16 minutes on one occasion (lived by international mall).

    I love Southwest, or maybe it's just Love Field & flying into smaller airports. Their drink menu is awful though

    I went to get an aisle seat but a bag was there. I moved the bag and sat down. “Someone’s sitting there”. “Oh really have they already been on and they’re in the bathroom?” “Yes”

    Survey says that was a lie!

    They just remodeled Terminal 3 and it's much nicer than 4 (albeit not nearly as many options since it's smaller). Flying Delta or JetBlue used to be awful because the only restaurants and bars were a horrible, even by airport standards, Mexican restaurant and a Wendy's. It was the worst terminal I'd ever been in at a major airport.

    I believe they are remodeling the other side of it currently and will be moving the United and various tiny airlines that currently utilize 2 over and will close that. 2 was very close to being as bad as the old 3 except a local brewery opened there in the past few years.

    They let me take glass bottles of MGD on the flight with me in Dublin. I bought them right outside the gate.

    I assume they've weighed the risks of someone smashing a bottle and using it as a shank, but being able to get drunk on a plane outweighs that risk for the Irish.

    I like looking out the window. It was shortly after takeoff on a flight leaving Tulsa last year, the city where i have lived for the majority of my life, where i learned that we in fact have one Dairy Queen in town. That's valuable information that i would not have had i shut my window.
