3. NEW ORLEANS AIRPORT NEW TERMINAL HAS CHAOTIC WEEKEND: A new terminal at the New Orleans Airport, which opened last week, has generally been well received, but the experience of travelers there this weekend was anything but a Big Easy. The Times-Picayune: “Travelers described a chaotic scene Sunday morning in security lines, where the number of people overwhelmed the system in place to move them forward. Getting from the airport to the city has also been a problem. In the past few days, lines for taxis and ride-hailing service vehicles have stretched over an hour at times, as the traffic pattern makes it difficult for those vehicles to get to waiting areas.”
