    An airport in desperate need of retrofitting. One of the most antiquated terminals I have ever seen. I avoid connecting flights here-- I have had to leave one secure area to go to another--good luck

    What a ridiculous place. Not all the gates are behinds he same security, once you arrive you may have to leave and re-enter to get your connection. Horrible!

    Dunno about other gates, but the SWA one has the slowest TSA checkpoint ever. Leave extra time; just pretend you're going to the DMV.
