On Monday evening and into the early morning hours of Tuesday, commuters flowed through the old landside terminal one last time — from the former airline check-in spaces to the TSA lanes to the people mover that took travelers to the airside.
The new landside space sports a consolidated security checkpoint with 12 TSA lines, as opposed to the seven at the old terminal (with an alternate screening area used during heavier travel times).
