1. Apparently very cool, but very expensive

[underpants]

2. $250/night

3. I was referring to the cost of building the hotel

$265 million in renovations of the terminal

4. Doesn't sound so bad.

Once you consider the cost of transferring back and forth to the city, and booking a hotel room there.

I would stay there.

5. No. Cost of the room isn't bad, but cost to build is rather eye-opening

6. Could be worse.

At least it bears no resemblance to the Denver airport's giant mustache or whatever the hell it's supposed to be. . .

7. It looks like a very thoughtful repurposing of a historic structure.

My grandma would have loved it. She loved flying, back when it was glamorous, which is maybe why she married an Army Air Corp officer.

She'd dress up for flying like a Hollywood movie star.

When I was a kid she bought the ticket for my first flight on a jetliner. I got all the bling and attention children received then, shaking the captain's hand, etc..

8. And then they show someone wearing a United Airlines flight attendant

uniform from 1968. It's about 9 seconds into the video. Appears to be a person staffing the check-in counter. Later they say staff will be wearing replicas of the TWA uniform from the early 1970s, so I can't imagine why they have the apparent United uniform shown. Sloppy research on someone's part.

9. Happy to see it.

Was built while I was in high school 12 miles away, and went to check out the place with friends one night.

10. My late uncle that worked for TWA flew out of there many tines.

Glad it's a **reasonably** priced NY airport hotel....

on edit...

He flew Constellations...

12. The Constellation was one of the most beautiful aircraft ever!

11. Wonderful to see this.

When I used to visit family on Long Island in the 50s and 60s, we used to go out to Idlewild. Later as an adult, I occasionally flew through JFK, sometimes on TWA. Can't wait to see it again after all these years.
