Before the remodel in the early 80s SYR used to have a common checkpoint in the middle of the terminal. After the remodel it went to two concourses each with their own checkpoint. Kinda like PBI but on an itty bitty scale. Now that the US Airways Club has been closed there for a while there really is no reason to wander between concourses anymore.
I kinda miss the old SYR. As a kid I used to think those chairs with the horrible coin operated TVs attached to them on the landside were the coolest things ever.
I used to live in Dallas before the Airtrain was added and have been through since its addition. Best thing ever to happen to that airport IMO.
