It's very very pis-poorly organized.
1. Long walks from anywhere to anywhere. Curb to T4S gate = 45 minutes!!!!!
Security lines are usually pretty quick, train ride takes forever due to the distance. Long lines at passport control. Another long walk to the gate. A pis-poorly organized line to go through the secondary security check for US-bound flights (yea, that's thanks US and AA, but other airports can make it happen much quicker).
2. Coming the other way, the bags take forever to come out!

3. Signage sucks - things aren't intuitive, placed in the wrong places.


One saving grace - lounges are very nice.
