Take on Terminal 1

Dante describes the 9 circles of hell, which sounded terrifying but they still pale in comparison to Terminal 1 at JFK. Somehow this terminal has never moved from 1970. I'm not saying that it's classic and sort of nostalgic, this terminal hasn't had a splash of paint put on its walls over the last 55 years. The place is dark, stuffy and feels like a porn set. The security line is like being herded like cattle, with the entire place smelling like they let a herd of cattle hang out there for a week.
Once you get through security, it's no better. Every store is ludicrously expensive, there isn't a decent restaurant and the lounges feel like you are sitting in purgatory.

Other than that, it's great
