Message: [QUOTE="Marty McFly, post: 2756726, member: 5905"] In other news the airport was ready for a ribbon cutting today... yeeesh. I very recently flew in/out of Hancock and am disappointed. I am all for improving aesthetics, and heaven knows that airport really needed a face-lift to get with the times, but man it seems like a poorly conceived, poorly executed, rush job with no practical or functional improvement to the flying public. Among my chief complaints, there really isn't anything to do if god forbid your flight is delayed a few hours (and I would know first hand). No business center, or green area to sit and relax in (even in the lobby). Speaking of the lobby, it's dark and uninviting. What's with all the fake rock facade everywhere? Maybe on the 'grand staircase' but it's plastered everywhere in the lobby and is just odd (at least to me). I'd rather have a cool design feature or water feature... but I digress. The painted ceiling which I guess is supposed to tie into the floor color scheme just makes it more dark and closed in feeling. Plus I am literally butt-hurt over the crappy hard seats by the gates. couldn't allocate some of the 63 mill for padded seats? I'll even throw in a couple bonus items: the newly installed signage inside the airport is brutal. Who thought a dark blue background with important info that's not illuminated or bright in any way was smart? It's totally illegible more than 10 feet away. Don't get me started on the craptastic canopy outside, that will be a real treat in the winter, or the still untouched garage. I really don't know how this ran close to 65 million, but someone got a nice payday out of this. Too bad some of the funds didn't go to functional improvements, or enticing more airlines from Hubs, or getting SW into the area. Don't get me wrong - I fly fairly often- and have seen many airports in big and small markets alike, and while Hancock is way nicer than it was... it could have been even better (a lot better from a practicality standpoint) for the customers flying in and out everyday.
