I too recall it being quite a ‘special’ experience. I think I flew long haul to the US from there. Perhaps Continental back in the late 1980’s.
Earlier this year I walked there from South and flew Vueling to BCN and it was decidedly unremarkable. Tacky feeling even.
P.S. Although, incidentally, I was pleasantly surprised by the Vueling flight.
