(from Wikipedia)TWA vetoed concepts to model the airport on Washington Dulles International Airport and Tampa International Airport, because those two airports had people movers which it deemed too expensive. TWA insisted on "Drive to Your Gate" with flight gates 75 feet (23 m) from the roadway (signs along the roadway showed the flights leaving each gate
Remind me to go back in time and shake the TWA executives who thought people movers were too expensive. "Just build it exactly like Tampa! Trust me, just spend the money now, IT WILL BE WORTH IT"
