Public Transit Access
One notable drawback currently is the access to the new terminal via public transit, with the temporary AirTrain station located a fair distance away. Remedial plans are in place, but it may take some years before complete accessibility improvements are realized.

With a well-thought-out design aimed at aviation enthusiasts, it includes ample spaces for planespotting and lounges for major airlines like American, United, and Delta.
