    Security it a breeze: fast, efficient and common sense (a 3.4 oz bottle of lotion is just fine!)

    The red and blue terminals are opposite sides of the same building, so if you go to the wrong one, it's no big deal. Just walk over to the other side.

    Short-term parking is free for an hour, so don’t bother with drop-offs!

    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!

    Nice airport. Better have thick skin to deal with the TSA agents. Most abrasive and rude I've come across.

    DON'T PARK IN LONG TERM PARKING!!! Park in ECONOMY PARKING instead and save a bundle! $9 a day instead of $15 & a free airport shuttle right to your airline.

    Switching terminals to connect is a pain. Have to go through security again and there are wheelchairs and walkers galore.

    Suggest renting a car from one of the on-site companies especially if you're landing late.

    Check out the "observation deck" on the third floor of the terminal. It should be renamed the Vista de Nada deck since it provides a view of absolutely nothing.
