Agree with you. Can't wait til the new terminal is open.

I am confused about your car rental dropoff note. Car rental is by P3, closer to Terminal A. Why would you need to go to Terminal C? Or are you going to C and taking the airside bus back to A?

Yeah, that was my point. For a while, when Terminal A was consistently crap, I would take the time hit and go to C to clear security, then back to A on the bus.
It was probably quicker to wait thru the line at A, but seemed so much more stressful.
