So need. Before, I jumped over the barricade to look through the window of the TWA terminal.
On the plus side, it's preserving the building.
On the minus side, it's like a museum piece in a glass case. Gone are the 2 flight wings and the view of the ramp from inside the terminal. Gone are the check in counters, which were not located in a grand location.
I actually liked the I. M. Pei designed National Airlines Sundrome, later TWA domestic terminal, later Terminal 6. The drawback of that terminal was the central 3-4 gates, not the 2 satellites, had no view of the planes.
