The beginning of a new era at BUR

[u/silvs1]

Here's some photos from the new terminal at BUR. Overall a great improvement over the old terminal. Beware that there's little to no food options at the moment but I'm sure anyone that frequents BUR is used to not buying the overpriced food as it is. None of the restaurants are open yet. Starbucks was still setting up their kiosk.

Yup. Sometimes people are wrong. This is one of those times. If jetbridges appeared magically, people would mourn the "good old days" but end up preferring them, especially when it rains. It's like how people vocally claim to miss manual crank-windows in cars, but revealed preference shows nobody would buy a car like that, despite stating otherwise.

The people who say they miss crank windows are the same people who think electric windows add $2k to the price of a car.

Hah, true, there's a parallel to Burbank boomers who showed up to the meetings asking for a low-tech way to exit the plane and walk through the rain to relive the 1950s.

I mean its not just boomers that asked for it, Gen X and millenials wanted it as well. Hell I would often see Gen Zers taking selfies in front of the plane while walking up to it. Lets be honest, we have sunshine 300+ days out of the year, rain is hardly an issue at BUR, a bigger issue is landing in the rain which Southwest clearly has issues with that. The ramps are also covered and so is the new path that leads you to your gate.
