[@RandomNewz]

Hey Jonesrmj, Great Video. I am getting a Mac ( I have an IPhone) from a Windows, could you tell me the differences, because I know that you have a Mac.

[@jonesrmj]

@@RandomNewz Cool! So basically, Mac is like IOS but in desktop form. What's also cool is that if you have an iPhone, you can also send and receive messages through your Mac as well! I highly recommend you check out my 2018 MacBook Pro Review - 1 Year later for a more in-depth video.

@@jonesrmj ok Thank You, Will do.

4:05 - The Airport of ATLANTA is the best example of 'satellite concourses'.

[@jonesrmj]

Yeah, and Denver.

[@JuanGarcia-vb3du]

Always liked Tampa's design. Short walking distances, stacked vertical terminal functions, people movers and air-side satellite terminals. Was imitated by Orlando and Paris Charles de Gaulle (original terminal). Its also the best place to spot planes!

[@jonesrmj]

Yeah. I’ve never been to Tampa’s airport, but it looks very nice and it has a good design and layout.

[@smallmj2886]

You are missing a key component of a good airport: public transit. Large numbers of people need to be able to get to the airport efficiently. For a busy airport, that means fast and frequent trains so that the access roads aren't constantly clogged.

[@jonesrmj]

That is a very good point. This video was more focused on the design of the airport itself, but you are absolutely right!

The Washington Dulles Airport uses underground trains and mobile lounges to move people between the main area of the airport and the concourses where the airplanes have their gates within their known concourses. Coming from an international flight to Dulles without preclearance will require usage of the mobile lounges that go directly to the immigration and customs area.

[@mohimroy7738]

You missed DXB. That's the best example of the last type of airport design you've mentioned.

[@jonesrmj]

Yes in terms of Sattelite concourses, but no in the sense that DXB only has 2 runways. It’s needs more than that.

[@mohimroy7738]

@@jonesrmj but weren't you talking about satellite concourses and not runways?

[@jonesrmj]

@@mohimroy7738 Yeah. I’m just saying that DXB doesn’t have a lot of runways.

[@mohimroy7738]

@@jonesrmj agree.

[@mohimroy7738]

@@jonesrmj but the best airport with satellite concourses. Yes.

I often fly from PHL. I have family from Ireland so I fly from Dublin alot. Dublin is a great airport, I love the commons space where you wait before you go to your gate, it has big TV screens showing whatever sport is on, very entertaining. PHL, On the other hand, sucks. I hate that there is there no commons space and PHL is like alot of other American Airports. I also hate how all of PHL is on one road and it goes for like a mile. I like how Denver is (or how it will be, with a big commons area).

The pronunciation of Changi Airport is something like Chung-Yee, Chang-Yee or Chung-ee, Chang-ee (ng sound the way you say singing) not Gi as you say it. Edit: I just came across this video where a Singaporean guy says the airport's name. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5bIlIBtZ8-gmNU

[@jonesrmj]

Sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know!

[@DosAussieThai]

@@jonesrmj It's one of the most confusing name pronunciations. Believe it or not, within that tiny Singapore, there are variations of how they pronounce it. A bit rich coming from me, though, because my grandparents' village in Thailand, which is only 4 kilometers away, has a totally different accent from my village - for the whole spoken language, not just some words.

[@Atl404sFinest]

You forgot Atlanta

[@jonesrmj]

That is a good example. I was just referring to satellite concourses in general, so pretty much any airport that uses them is using the most efficient design.
