I did not see the new carpet throughout the entire concourse on the list of projects!

This hopefully paves the way for the FIS facility bringing international flights to the Jetport by 2027!

Yes, that stained and odor producing carpeting in the older part of the terminal is unacceptable and embarrassing. It reminds me of walking though the original parts of La Guardia with the 7-foot-high ceilings and condensation stains only inches above from the venting. What a first impression that made on arriving passengers. But then the new terminal at La Guardia has some issues, and ones in which I could create a thesis paper length critique on. Maybe we can start a GoFundMe page for the Jetport issue. I got $100 ready.

The new carpet is approved and is going to happen. I was just pointing out that it was not included on the list of improvements because it's minor (expense) in the scheme of new projects but vital for a first impression.

The carpet alone will go a long way to making gates 1-7 feel more contemporary, but I'd love to see a "touch-up modernization" of the eastern end of the terminal. in the not-too-distant future. Just some architectural accents and cosmetic renovations to help hide its age and help it blend with the 2011 /2025 addition.

The ceiling and lighting are two other items besides the carpet that needs to be replaced and would make a huge difference visually.

Not the most exciting addition, but it looks like UA has added a 4th daily mid-afternoon flight to IAD with a CRJ-550 starting in April. This lines up with a new departure bank UA is creating as they continue to turn IAD into a fortress hub and shift north-south connections away from EWR.

June - October will be 5x daily to IAD. Mostly RJ's but some mainline mixed in.
