I was travelling through MSY a few months ago, and noticed that there was still an old TWA sign up at the far end of Concourse C. It was near the American Airlines gates, but it looked like these particular gates were no longer used.
If you start at 2:40 in this video (of TWA's last 727 flight), you can see the sign that is still there. It is behind the gate desk, to the left of the printer. It says "Security Notice" and lists a whole bunch of regulations. Very 1990s! That small silver sign was the only remnants that I saw of TWA there.
Do any other airports have similar TWA remnants, besides the obvious TWA Terminal at JFK?

I'm surprised Mark Abels didn't personally go rip that sign down. Rumor has it, he ordered all of the memorabilia stored in the basement at KCAC destroyed.

If you go to the curbside portion of Concourse G, Level 1 at MIA, there are still signs directing passengers to the old TWA counters on Level 2.

Back when Fly-I still existed I flew them into PWM. The gate they used was the old TWA gate and it still have the carry-on baggage sticker from the 90's.
SNN
One way, IAH-RTB please! No return ticket required.

Could you explain more about this?

Interesting! I'll have to check this out next time I am at MIA! My last TWA flight was MIA-JFK in August 2001...Sigh.
How long did TWA operate out of Concourse G for?

I saw that when I left MIA last year. Plus the sign for their club is inside just past security as well.

I believe the airport in Ottumwa, Iowa, still has a Braniff ticket counter sign somewhere in the terminal, though it's no longer used (the terminal and the sign ... ha ha).

While boarding a flight at Lambert this year, I noticed the Eastern Airlines logo on the Jetway console. Eastern had a large operation at St Louis for many years.

Forever. They were there since the terminal opened in 1959 up until their final TW-coded flight in 2002.

At SFO in T1, there's a sign on the door for gate 28 or 29 that says TWA, but someone took a black sharpie and blacked out the letters.

Mark Abels was a TWA VP (of corporate communications I think) prior them being bought by AA. There were oodles of stuff in the basement of KCAC that he ordered destroyed. I'm not really sure if he didn't want it to end up in American's hands or why exactly.
