The T4 extension looks just like the existing T4, its just an add-on dogleg type thing with 9 gates. The assorted carriers currently parking at T4 will all get booted out.
Saucer and Kremlin-looking-appendage with the horseshoe...gone!
The connector from T2 to T4 is gonna be really looooooong, like 3 times the length of the current T2-T3 connector....

Yes extended bins (on the other side) and leather seats and I guess the IFE in-seat is on hold until the new Weber-Panasonic Fusion seat with touchscreen comes out, it's a lot lighter because the seat was designed for the screen, not the other way around. Those are going in the 747, 7ER and MD90...
BTW. MD90 count is up to 36 according to the Flight Ops Memo
