    Stand on the right, walk on the left - escalators and moving walk ways. Just like driving - slow right, pass on left. Thanks.

    Arrive WAY early if you don't have TSA Pre check. The line at 7am looked like it would take over an hour (?). TSApre took like 10 minutes.

    If your gate is A4a or A4b don't wait until the last minute to get there from the main building. It is quite a walk.
