Bottega dei Sapori is closing December 28 “due to the whole airport being downsized” per the staff. Annoying because now with the AA lounge temporarily shuttered the only good fast food is closing. Is the plan for a major closure of concessions before this construction project starts?

Jump to postI'd be curious to see how this refit would work, some sort of 1-2-1 arrangement?

Jump to postIs it bad that I now show up ~10min. after the stated boarding time when flying out of 35A? The second bus is less crowded, it's not as if I'm getting a PDB, and they've inevitably built 45min. into the schedule for boarding. I hope they figure out some sort of new way to board the CRJs post-swap.<b...
