SAV Airport completes ambitious expansion

[Cpinnell]

What is the name of the fountain at the Savannah airport? I would like to have a close up photo.

one of the nicest and most beautiful airports I have ever been through

Leaving NY/LaGuardia recently, with its newly cluttered, retail-driven gate areas and lunatic seating arrangements (in the Delta terminals), I found Savannah-HH to be as it always is: soothing, open, and stress-free -- so many areas to sit with your coffee and just chill. S/HH has to be the most inviting airport in the Southeast.

Sadly, the new trend in US airports is to interweave little shops and cafes together all around the numbered gates, removing some 30% of the existing seating and reworking the remaining 70% into confining and isolated pods. The Delta terminal at LaGuardia, recently redone, is like being in a 19th-century mental asylum. True, all of this increases retail revenue (per sq. foot) in an airport, but it becomes a nightmare of a space for the rest of us. So let's all enjoy the Savannah airport as it is currently configured. I fear its days are numbered. Money talks in America, first and foremost.

LaGuardia is nothing short of a nightmare. I can't stand that place. The new terminal at JFK is actually bearable though. For the record.
