Passing through Hopkins...

Just got back from Chicago and did a little mental comparing of O'Hare and Hopkins. Cleveland's design is pretty poor--probably because of lack of foresight about how big the airport might grow, the distances between gates can be ridiculous. Whereas it's not that bad a walk to even the farthest gates at O'Hare. But Cleveland at least has the customer service attitude to provide electric carts for those who have a physical problem or are very late and must go to the ends of the concourses to catch their planes.

Also, just read about a possible quick-pass for airport security. Haven't seen a sign of this yet here, but even though the "e-z pass" makes the Homeland Security people nervous, most of us weary travelers would welcome such an option.
