Terminal C was an architects vanity project. Its horrible. I will not fly Jet Blue down to FL unless the ticket is free while there are several other options available. The place is massive and its only the first phase. No floor people movers. No rental cars in that terminal yet. When we arrived we walked the long long long way to the exit/entrance area to get to the rental car area which was a table in the foyer. Did the paperwork and were told to go out the door and get on the shuttle bus to terminal A for the car. By the time the bus was full and moving we lost a ton of time. It took about an hour and a half from leaving the plane to leaving the rental car garage, When we got back to fly home I dropped the family off at terminal C drove the rental to terminal A to return the car. Then they said there was a tram to terminal C. I had to go into terminal A and there was an electronic sign that said the tram to terminal C was 30 minutes. I then walked outside of Terminal A and hired a taxi back to terminal C. I made it through security with my TSA precheck before my sons did without it. I emailed the airport about my displeasure and they said the tram was 10 minutes. I asked if it included the walking to the tram station in A and from the tram station at C to the actual terminal and they said no the 10 minutes is the actual ride. Lastly there are two or three people cart things that can move people to the gate inside the terminal BUT they were so cheap buying it that the version they bought required the driver to stand and be held up by a small pole behind him. I hope the architect is waiting for his award still that he/she expected designing such a huge waste of space. Lastly we spoke to aircrew on our flight and they all hate it. They have to get to work an hour early to get to where they need to go and the international flights go through the top floor requiring wheel chair staff to push people up many levels of ramps then across the length of the place.
