It's open and operational, two of four jet bridges are operating. The other two will become operational in a day or two.

Fabulous new facility...still working the bugs out, however. Count on crowd control and long lines for check-in with US Air and American...not enough employees working the many desks. LIke before, still not enough seating for all the departures in the late afternoon. Walking off the jet via a "jet port" into a fully A/Ced facility was wonderful. Immigration and "customs" was 200% faster than at the old facility...double the "booths" for processing.

In the new terminal, have they moved the liquor stores past the security check, so that you can bring liquids on to the plane? Also, are tey doing the liquids and gels in a baggie check there for American airlines?

Looking forward to seeing the new facility, but I have to say, I really miss the old open air terminal that you didn't even have to takje buses to.
