It is my first time traveling through this connecting airport and I was impressed. The parts which I saw were all clean, modern, and efficient. Reminiscent of the architecture and layout of the airport in Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP).
Another good thing about it was cheap to fly into compared to other southeast hubs and the fact that the whole airport is one building makes connections very easy, with no terminal changes and such. Way to go! I’m giving it a 9.5 stars airport overall rating! (except the parking facilities)
