Theres also talks of a Borders in the mall.

I hope they start the rest of the expansion projects as soon as possible,and more flights at night.

expansions don't seem that big, but it looks like it allowes them to add a bunch more planes.

In this thread there's an aerial picture of the airport and all the new expansions are in purple. There you can see the real size of the new international terminal. PR Ports Authority is even adding a mall to the airport (for a total of aprox. 160 commercial spaces) and 21 new gates.

doesnt seem like it is that big or adding that much, but those are some pretty impressive expansions. Hopefully it stays on track and gets finished.

Well in terms of the entire airport the new expansions are not a big deal but compared to the cars you can have an idea of how big the airport will be taking in consideration that the entire airport is a two-story building and it has a six-story tower which is the airport's hotel. For example having more than 160 commercial spaces inside the airport including stores as big as Borders,  having a recreational park called Aeroparque (outside the main building)  plus a hotel with casino and other amenities the total area of the airport after the expansions (shown in purple) will give SJU's a big airport image.  I mean it will not be an airport like Dallas-Ft. Worth, Atlanta or LAX but it will rank somewhere high among US airports in terms of sf, amenities and things to do inside of it.

I also hope all those expansions will stay on track. At least for now they are

Chicago's O'Hare (ORD) has a new website with terminal maps, arrival/departure info, etc.

I wish all airports had this information available that easy.
