Ok, you can take the airtrain, AFTER the 7 minute walk. The idea is to connect the 2 terminals in the future, whose future has yet tbd. The new car smell sure is nice, as is the vast spaciousness. AA was under pressure to open the new 9, so there is much more to be filled in. As you all can see, there is quite a bit of property to be filled, hopefully with more concessions, and a walkway connecting to 8. I was led to believe we may have run out of money to finish {too many bonuses to the bigwigs}, so the projection date has been pushed back again and again. I remember being promised a Dunkin Doghnuts in the new terminal, so I am as dissapointed as you all are! But, I will agree, as I have timed it, 7 mins to the curb is accurate. {and I wear heels}
