I have been through the Saarinen designed TWA at JFK terminal when it was operating. Saarinen had more foresight when he designed the main terminal at Dulles. The structure was easily expanded to accommodate the explosion in air travel while maintaining the integrity of the design.

That’s kind of cool. I travel in and out of the Middle East, a lot. All the airports, since they have state run airlines, also have a hotel as part of the deal, so if you have an extended layover, they’ll give you a room to relax in, instead of waiting in the terminal for 15hours.

Great idea. Beautifully done.

How cool is that! I love it when old buildings are saved and refurbished. The style isn’t my favorite, but it’s stunning.

Is room 800 still avaiable?
Or is it closed off due to electrical problems?
Was reported that room 800 had best view of the annual fireworks display.

One of the advantages of flying TWA at the time is you could fly TWA domestically to this terminal and transfer to TWA international within the same terminal; no scrambling to transfer between domestic and international terminals in the rest of the airport.
