    Don't hit TSA security between 3:30 - 4:30 am. Shift change and NOone is at the checkpoint. Free WiFi is nice, place is clean.

    Check bags on the curb. It's only a ten min wait compared to hours. Don't forget to tip!

    The train ride is pretty fun. How do they keep the alligators off the runway?

    This was the fastest TSA check ever... Less then 5 minutes. Show up early (7:30) and you'll be fine

    If you're flying JetBlue and you're not checking a bag, print out your boarding pass at home to avoid the ridiculous kiosk line. Only one machine works at times!

    I shit you not, one of the few remaining airports with a designated smoking area (past the security checkpoint). :) Gate C's is around the corner from the food kiosks. HIT IT.

    When parking in Long Term Parking, try for the 5th floor Wright Brothers parking area. It's the first stop when you leave the airport.

    Staff checking boarding passes before the trams are extremely rude and cause tons of confusion with carrying on bags. Let the airlines handle bags and stop intimidating their staff & customers.
