JetBlue’s new terminal known as T5 tops Northwest’s terminal in Detroit as my favorite in America. It’s nowhere as majestic as the NW’s, but it is wonderfully convenient. My highlights include the swank AeroNuova cocktail bar in the main concourse, seperate coffee and cocktail bars at individual gates (not across from the gate, but in the middle of the seating areas!), genuinely appealing shopping options (Muji and Borders) and as usual free wifi. One disappointment is the lack of electrical outlets for laptop toters like me — I’d never mind a delayed flight if I could endlessly watch Hulu at the gate. I’m still waiting for an airline to install an outlet under every seat at the gate, and in plane for that matter (As far as I know, Virgin is the only American carrier to feature the latter).
Bottomline, who needs a private airline lounge when you have T5?
