Came thru here yesterday.

Let me just stress this:

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN TERMINAL F, EAT BEFORE YOU GET THERE OR AFTER YOU LEAVE.

Man, there is NO food there right now due to the construction. Just that Au Bon Pain thing and a bar and whatever CIBO is. Basically premade salads like an old Howard Johnson cafeteria.

We flew from FLL to PHL in coach and got a drink and nothing else, even the little pretzel bags with four pretzels in each one.

Then we got to PHL and rushed to F to catch our flight onto ITH (which turned out to be delayed 30 minutes, so we didn't have to rush after all but didn't have enough extra time to go back to the other area either) and realized there was nowhere to eat.

Then we got on the CRJ from PHL to ITH and they announced we wouldn't be getting a drink service because of the flight length, which was somewhat surprising since we got one last year going from PHL to BGM, which should be closer or equal distance.

So yeah we got home just about sick from hunger (I'm not faulting the airline). Oops.. knowing this, we'll plan better next time. But just letting people know. Eat outside of F if you get a chance.
