Light, Airy, and Actually Comfortable

Chris described the concourse as wide, open, and clean, with a light, airy feel.

There are plenty of spots to grab something to eat, grab a coffee, or just sit down and relax before your flight—which, let’s be honest, is half the battle when you’re traveling.
