Ok so this is just a small drawing of the new airport, (all help is requested to put stuff in there right place)! For those of us that have traveled through the new airport called Post Hurrican Irma Airport, we all know how it is! We left off some stuff, like parking and vendors, but please rip the photo and please add any nessary objects or words, and please repost! Soooo lets have some fun! Remember it is now PHIA!
Thank you! We did! I will add that in! Now from here forward this is our new name PHIA! On a side note, we are going through global entry process, what a PITA, no interviews available in NC! Pleas send us a PM and explain that if you can! Sorry, I just hijacked my on site! Sorry!
Bacchus was there in May, right next to the ice cream stand, but I don't think they had their normal gourmet items. I seem to recall a chip display, which seeem strange to me.
Is the departure lounge or any other areas air conditioned? Don't do well in stuffy hot places.
Neither do I. There is A/C in the departure terminal. I carry a small battery-operated personal handheld fan for situations like that. I do a lot of inter-island flights, and it comes in handy on small planes too. Several can be found on Amazon for under $15.
SXMFox--I took pictures of all the food places yesterday and what shops there were, so maybe you can make that a really complete diagram here in a day or two..
Regarding the a/c question, where the ticket counters are I thought was a little warm, but there is a/c and huge fans in the departure area. I plunked myself down close to one of the fans and I was very comfortable. There are a couple of charging stations in the departure area, there are bathrooms, but no water fountains. Of course there weren't any water fountains in recent years at Juliana either, which ticked me off, but that's just me. We were sitting the departure area in 25 minutes from when we pulled up outside the airport, including checking in and checking bags. AA was the only big plane leaving around when we did. There was a Jet Blue which left about an hour before AA and the departure area was kind of crowded until they left.
Yup, that's the rationale, I guess. I have never seen a US airport that does not have water fountains. I try to drink a lot of water, and I usually bring an empty water bottle to fill at the water fountain at the airport.
