Wish I had known flights to SJU are leaving from the new T5, I assumed they would remain in T4.

Oh well, I hope to have a chance to pass through the beautiful new terminal at somepoint!

Is JetBlue still using T6?

**bluejuice** · 10-22-2008, 12:06 PM

We are officially out of T6- We can use it to hardstand AC with no jetbridges attached.

**Iberia A340-600** · 10-22-2008, 06:29 PM

That's true. However there needs to be extensive renovations the place is a dump.

I thought the T5 master plan is for 12 more gates? I read about that in one of the magazines about the new terminal.

Long Live JetBlue!!
Happy Jetting!

I was just talking to my friend who works in IT for B6. He was at T5 all day yesterday and by all reports the first day was flawless. A stark comparison from the first day at LHR's T5. Looks like B6 did it right! He did find it interesting that there was a 50/50 difference in opinion. 50% of the ppl loved the terminal and 50% commented why did you spend they money.
