Tomorrow's schedule has 12 flights departing HPN during the 2 hour window of 7:00am-9:00am. This may seem like nothing for a seasoned hub traveler, but anyone who's waited for a flight at HPN will know that the waiting area at HPN is but the size of three typical-sized gates, and seating is at an absolute premium.

There's no doubt these flights will do well out of HPN, because of its ease of use, and location in the wealthy Westchester/Fairfield/Even Northern NJ market, but I hope people can find a seat to wait for these flights!
The really need to do something with the seating area at HPN. I think calling it a zoo is being kind. I imagine the local community would block any sort of construction on the site. This place needs some serious updating. I love flying out of there though because its alot easier to get to than JFK, LGA or BDL.
