re: New MSY Terminal design: taxi times to increase by 40% for inbound jets, 70% for outbound

It's interesting you think NOLA travelers are the big defenders of the new airport. Most of the threads about the new airport have featured NOLA business travelers complaining because the old airport was so easy to get in and out of for the local business traveler. That, no doubt, will change. I suspect it will take me longer to get there, park and hop on my SWA flight. But I am willing to see if the overall improvements offset my slight inconvenience.
