Longest walks at airports

As terminals expand and moving walkways disappear, you could be in for a serious hike to your gate.
A few airports report their longest potential walks are more than a mile – and some are longer. As airports and aircraft get bigger, gates have been spaced further apart. The amount of walking you might do continues to grow as airports build new concourses or extend existing concourses to add additional gates.
