According to the story in this thread, the arrivals area is supposed to be all operational by "the first week in October".

So, the answer is that "maybe" you will get a jetway upon arrival. I could be wrong, often am, but it seemed like when we left in June, there were only THREE jetways, when before there were always four. So, even if the new arrivals area is operational, you may not get a jetway, based on what other planes are there.

As far as ramp versus stairs, USUALLY there is a ramp at the front of the plane and stairs at the back. And they want you to use the entrance closer to your seat. When we have boarded the plane by stairs, I have usually been able to whine and they let me use the ramp versus stairs to board the plane, when my seat was closer to the back.

On a related note, I saw pictures today where part of the 'temporary' arrivals facility at PJIA, which was a TENT was ripped to shreds by the tropical storm yesterday. Gee, one would think they should have taken down a TENT??
