    If you come up here around noon you may be lucky enough to catch a rather good looking IT department having lunch.

    Very pleasant venue. Avoid checking bags inbound if you can as bag delivery is mysteriously slow. A Nexus card speeds immigration and customs.

    It seems that US customs when departing doesn't open until 4:30. Even after using global entry or nexus you need to speak to an officer.

    Buy a pack of transit tickets and use AddFare and/or validate. Saves the $5 airport departure fee.

    Avoid attaching pictures of your friends to your public check-ins. We want to see how the place looks like, not how *you* or *your* friends look like.

    This is the worst airport that I have been to, it`s been an hour, and I am not even half way through security check point. There are 10 check points, but only ONE in use!

    When in the priority lounge pay attention to changes about your flight as the loud speaker announcements does not reach the lounge. Missed my flight cause of that, after 4 delays!!!
