TWA Terminal at J.F.K. Airport

Doctor Day Tripper is at it again!

Today Dr. Segan visited the TWA Terminal at J.F.K. airport. Great place to spend the afternoon.  I think it can be described as futuristic and retro all at the same time.  The TWA Terminal, designed by Eero Saarinen, opened in 1962.  Its iconic wing-shaped structure revolutionized airport design.  The terminal was a hub for transatlantic flights but closed in 2001.  In 2019, it reopened as the TWA Hotel, blending mid-century modern style with modern amenities.  You can read more about this iconic terminal here.   I remember when J.F.K. was Idlewild.  Do you?


LET'S TRAVEL BACK TO THE SIXTIES!
