It'll still be a long way until the new terminal comes to fruition. In the meantime, there's room for a SkyClub just past TSA in C on the second floor. I'm happy as long as they keep the service adds coming.

So do some minor work on the terminals or something, it's not like the O&D is going to have some sudden ridiculous increase and with the consolidation in the airline industry with many hubs being removed, it's not like CMH is likely to ever be someone's hub again. So why?
The rental car facility will eventually be connected to the new terminal.

The current terminal is almost tapped out on gate space for expansion. A1 (which was rumored to be getting a jetway again), C46, and C48 are the only gates which nobody has laid claim to with AS starting service last month.
