Romantic, matching masterpieces of mid-20th century air travel touched down this week in John F. Kennedy Airport?s otherwise charmless heart. One has wings, the other merely seems eager to fly. Both are tickets back in time to the golden age of slow-paced luxury at 35,000 feet. The Eero Saarinen-designed TWA flight terminal, dark since 2001, has been transformed into an eats- and booze-rich lobby for the 512-room, two-building TWA Hotel. Outside gleams a restored TWA Constellation, perhaps the prettiest plane ever to fly, now turned into a glam cocktail lounge. The twin projects, which cost developer MCR $265 million to design, could actually make the widely hated airport less hated. **NO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, NO NEW YORK TIMES, NO NEWSDAY**. 15 May 2019 Pictured: L-R: Dee D?Oval, Peter Christopher Coyle, and Susanne Meekma Stevens, all former TWA employees.
