Flying from major airports is SUCH a hassle, I'm very glad to be able to use a low-key smaller terminal. You're right, when arriving at departures one can often be the only person on the sidewalk. To me that's fantastic. Living in New Mexico requires some attitude adjustments, life here is pretty laid back and slow. That suits me just fine.
