Glad I don't have to fly into that terminal often or not anymore now that I think of it with the opening coming so soon.
I -refuse- to fly out of the Smith terminal. That only leaves me with NWA, CO, and DL. This terminal is leaps and bounds above the Smith.

Pro: Southwest has some cool power stations with dedicated USB charging plugs for devices and accessories. Plug your iPod in there instead of a wall charger! Gotta love that new airport smell. The signage is pretty good.

Con: Too much white paint everywhere. It will get dirty, fast. Where McNamara has gates on both sides, the North terminal only has them on one, making it feel a little closed in. Didn't see a space designated for a club, but I am assuming Lufthansa will have one. (They do in McNamara...)
