Let's hope they will produce a miracle with the new T1 just as they have done with the new LGA Terminal B. I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined what would be possible to cram into so little space in so little time. And now it is a positively pleasant place to fly from.

Many memories of T1 as well, more so of the LH First Class Dining space on the top floor of the LH lounge. But even that, despite being supposedly a haven of tranquility, felt noisy, rushed, stressful, crowded. Air France lounge? Never a fan, certainly better than waiting in the gate area, but all areas, upstairs and downstairs and even the La Premiere lounge, feel cramped, unpleasant.

Security and immigration: frankly, since there is GE I would wish every country had the same immigration system as the US. I don't even show my passport anymore to enter the country! And security, yeah, not great at T1, although the VIP lane which can be used with certain airline status cards or with Priority Pass makes a big difference. But still, no real TSAPre, an overcrowded, smelly, stressful experience.

What will I miss most of the Air France T1 days? The flight to ORY...
