the new airport

Did anyone go to the open house over the weekend? What were your impressions?

the new airport

We went to the new airport. It reminds me of the Denver Airport - a smaller version of course. It%26#39;s bright and open, lots of glass and natural light - the opposite of our current airport. There%26#39;s even moving walkways, which I never thought I%26#39;d see.

The local touches are what sets it apart. There is beautiful art from local artists. Many restaurants are local - Harry and Izzys, 96th St. Steakburgers, Patachou. I can%26#39;t wait to fly out of it!

I agree with Tina%26#39;s assessment. I also think the enter %26amp; exit roads are better designed %26amp; easier to navigate. The free cell phone parking lot is nice too.

What is a free cell phone parking lot?

Can%26#39;t wait to see it when I fly back home in November! Looking forward to hearing everyone%26#39;s remarks about it!

Also, what are they going to do with the current terminal and parking structure?

Hi, Gabby. It is my understanding that both the old terminal and parking garage will be demolished.

A cell phone parking lot is where you can wait in your car for someone coming in on a flight. They call you after they get their baggage %26amp; then you can drive up to get them. Saves money %26amp; you can always multi-task in your car while you wait. Or nap. :)

What a great idea! When I used to pick up someone, would get there early a lot of times and then after doing a couple of loops to see if they%26#39;d come out yet, I%26#39;d end up parking at the Holiday Inn while waiting for them.

I%26#39;ve heard that getting a rental car is a lot easier now, no shuttle busses needed to get to the cars.

I am going to the airport this Wed. Nov 6 from Terre Haute. Is the new exit opened or do I just enter the old way? thanks

You will use to old way until Nov. 12

I get for ease of explanation that they would give directions form 70 to exit 68, but does anyone know a better route from the west, coming across from Illinois on I-74? Does the Ronald Reagan Parkway stretch north all the way to I-74? It would be great if there was a good route on the west side to avoid going around on 465. Any thoughts?

Yes, You can use the 267. Brownsburg exit on the 74.

Head south through Brownburg, Avon, and then through Plaifield and then get onto the 70 at the south end of the Airport.

Hope this helps
