I dropped a friend off yesterday afternoon nearly two hours early. She texted me 10 mins later and said: 'I'm through security and at my gate. I guess we didn't need to come this early after all."

The only thing that stood out to me -- other than the lack of a direct access road -- was that the Departure drop off area seems small and crowded. Cars were stacked two deep letting people out and there seems to be no room for expansion. I was pretty shocked by how choked down everything seemed there.

I do think people are overreacting because they want things to be bad, and it has mostly been fine.

There are issues. The traffic needs to have a short term patch until the long term solution can get done. The Uber/Lyft system needs to be addressed.

But for the most part, it has been fine.

I think people are forgetting what a shitshow the old MSY could be at times.

I've had ridiculously long lines at security there plenty of times, and the pickup at the "underground" road by baggage claim was often a clusterfrick of epic proportions.
