24 Hours in Airworld: So Long, T5

I’ve seen the terminal go through nearly a 24-hour cycle now—from busy in the morning, afternoon, and evening, to the quiet of late night when the last flights are shipping out, back to the busy hum of the morning again.

This place was built to handle up to 20 million people a year—more than twice the population of New York City, coming and going, coming and going. It’s a nice place to spend some time, but 24 hours is more than enough.

So long, Airworld. I’ll see you again—too soon—when I fly from JFK to LAX on Friday. Oh, my.
