T3 JFK isn't very functional with the sheer # of people they are trying to squeeze through it, but it is a piece of history, just as the TWA terminal at JFK is.
One of us is confused - the terminal I am referring to was built for Pan Am, then became TWA, and then became something else when TWA went under. (can't remember who bought them now - was it AA?) I doubt they will be tearing that one down - it's a historically and architecturally important building.
I never fly through JFK anymore - too depressing to bring back the memories of what flying used to be - checking in at the mid-town office with the map of the world showing Pan Am' global network in twinkling white lights behind the check-in desk before boarding the bus to aterminal that was straight out of the Jetsons. AND NO ****ING TSA!
