"The seats were not comfortable and I had to creat a little nest with some extra clothes I have in my backpack" - OrangeAsh

"The best spot is just before concourse A on upper level, there is a quite large alcove where nobody would disturb you. " (Sitos)

"At 5 a.m. however security came and told us to pack up." (Watergirl)

"The airport is still kept at 60 F. So cold it hurts to not bring a coat." - Flackist

"All the reviewers are right, bring a coat. This airport is kept at 60 F or lower all year round and has overhead announcements every 15 minutes 24 hours a day. " - Mergers&Acquisitions

All the reviewers are right, bring a coat. This airport is kept at 60 F or lower all year round and has overhead announcements every 15 minutes 24 hours a day. The local time is announced 4x/hour! The new Terminal A for American Airlines is clean, very spacious, and no carpet. Carpet is bad for allergies. If you come prepared you'll be fine. The 24 hour Burger King is gone. Terminal H is like a graveyard including lighting that is very soothing. eating 24 hours is only available at a Dunkin Donuts, Subway sandwhich shop, or a latin cafe in Terminal G in front of the TACA ticket counter.....at least you have a good variety of fresh food. Concourse F is where the homeless sleep because they will ask you for money. Wi-Fi is NOT free.

The last review for this airport was in 2011. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
