If you fly out of Eppley, you can now see part of the new terminal. The first four gates of the $950 million modernization project opened about 4 a.m. Wednesday, and Delta is using them. After security in Concourse A, follow signs to Gates A1, A1A, A1B and A2.
The waiting areas average 2,600 sq. ft., compared with 1,500 sq. ft. now, and every seat has charging access. A women's restroom in the new section has 28 stalls, and there's a service animal relief area.

Don't expect the old routine to vanish yet. Pickup and drop-off stay on Level 1 of the South Garage through 2028, and the airport expects to open a centralized checkpoint and pedestrian bridge in February.
