Not sure how recent these pictures are, make your own assessment of if/when it will open. Soft opening scheduled for 11/15 after being pushed back from early Nov.

It looks like perhaps they were taken yesterday. Jeff Berger posted some pictures last night also. It doesn't look like there will be any shops or restaurants open? And I do not see any chairs at all?????? I was hoping there was going to be something in the Daily Herald today, but so far, nothing.

Listen closely.

Thanks for the link. Interesting. But I did hear that they said Bacchus was going to be open by tomorrow, along with a couple of other places. Which, looking at that picture of Bacchus? No way.

Believe it when it actually happens.

"Improvements" to the temporary arrival facility as well.

I saw those pics too! Looks like they're getting close to opening. Hopefully, they stick to the 11/15 date this time.

This was Sunday afternoon @3;15, it could use some improvement.

Uh, that is tomorrow.

Sanfilip--I'm confused, is that the luggage claim area?

Here was Saturday arrival, 4 different lines and they only let 1 airline in at a time due to only 1 baggage claim. Was hot and pretty annoying, Air France arrived just before so they had a ton of people.

Yes, that is luggage claim, just 1 belt. Only 1 plane at a time can be unloaded so they stagger the arrivals.

Not an issue if not many flights are arriving at that time.

Will be a complete zoo during the high season in a few weeks.

Carol, yes it is.
There where 2 flights ahead us, supposedly, they put bags out in order of flight arrival , but ours came right out.

Ok thanks.
