I've been to plenty of airports in NZ with just 1 gate, 1 short runway, tiny terminal, only small prop flights (even larger props can't use the airport).
Yeah, FAT didn't strike me as all that small either. Okay, it's a regional, but they fly RJs in and out and has actual real gates.
CLD(Carlsbad, CA. about an hour from SAN) only had GA and UA Embraers and Beechcraft. We walked off the plane, walked into the terminal and had to wait for the guy with the go-cart to come around with our bags.
They could have just unloaded them there by the plane for us to pick up.
FAT strikes me as getting to be more like GPT or LAN.
