Knock on wood, it was my best experience at this lousy airport. A colleague of mine had a similar experience later in the day. Perhaps things have changed since 12/21, but I'm hoping not, as I'll be back.
I think arriving into and departing from the same terminal was helpful. Did you have to clear security again?
