A $125M upgrade to "F" is scheduled to begin next year.
I personally love Philly, and I don't even hate the Philly airport, but the F terminal is a dump.

That said, I was shocked to find out the F term was opened in 2001, just 10 years ago! They have monitors from the 1990s everywhere except next to the shuttle gate, and as aforementioned, no digital gate information.

If the terminal was already a decade+ out of date when they built it, can we hope that the "upgrade" takes us to Y2k? Maybe their computers won't have 5 1/4 floppy drives anymore?
