The other major international destination they're targeting "albeit with a little less fervor than Seoul" is Mexico City.
From the terminal: the goal to open South Node in January and the North Node in March, but this could slip a little bit; exit lanes may open sooner than concessions in order to get rid of the temporary bypasses. This is a high priority because each bypass eliminates 3 gates and they want those gates back. Work on other areas, including baggage claim area will continue afterwards.

Mexico City would be cool. Was just chatting with a friend how interesting it is you can get from so many airports in the US to the resort Mexican cities, but Mexico City itself only flies to the largest US airports. It's THE largest metro area in North America! 5th largest in the entire world. And yet it never seems to be on people's international destination list to visit.
