Looks really nice! I am guessing concourse A will be the longer of the 2. I hope the ceilings stay as high as they look. Perhaps I've missed it, but I don't believe there's going to be a concourse A and B. It's just going to be one large concourse with the gates simply numbered 1-40. This way, it d...

Jump to postSpeaking of potential flights to Asia and long term CMH planning, has anyone else noticed that the west end of the south runway could be easily extended 2,000 feet to a total of 12,000 feet?

Jump to postReally great to finally see the new terminal renderings. Looks like 30% design phase is complete.

Jump to postGetting something regarding the new terminal would improve what is turning out to be a rather bland year for CMH.
On a related note, how awesome would it be for CMH to get something even half as nice as this (at CLT) - https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/ ... 90901.html
Good luck to them, but I don't see this being particularly successful. The MCO route might be ok, but CHS? Granted, the New River Gorge was made into a national park recently, and in terms of outdoor activity WV is hard to beat, but that's unlikely to generate enough traffic. Seems a better option w...

How does a Breezethru work? Do pax have to pick up and recheck luggage in CMH to/from PVD? I've been under the impression it's a same-aircraft stopover.

Breeze is dropping CMH-SAV effective… tomorrow. There is no resumption on the schedule. Other than the abrupt nature of the drop it’s not a big surprise.

Jump to postRe: The new CMH terminal - The most important thing, in my opinion, is that everything be connected air-side. (I've mentioned it upthread, but I think it's worth repeating.)
I have my doubts about a single security checkpoint, but if they can make it work efficiently, then I guess that's fine.
Nice! I've been considering an AMEX Plat card for the last few months... the new lounge at CMH will make that an easier decision.
Jump to postWe are still at least a decade away from completion of the terminal, if not longer... I used to think that, too. But now... not so much. I mean, it's going to be a while, but I think I could see it in 5-7 years if they can capitalize on the recent momentum. I haven't paid close attention to expecte...
Jump to postI'm not sure they could create a "north terminal" since there isn't much room up there - it would be pretty close to the runway. (Well, I guess anything is possible with enough money.) But, moving the south runway (10R/28L) further south back in the day has given them lots of room south of...
