...college when one of his songs got him hired at Stax. There he played in the house band behind most of Otis Redding's singles and found a songwriting partner in an insurance salesman named David Porter.

The terminal's 40 check-in desks and 100 self-service ticketing kiosks have been arranged on either side of security - many passengers arrive at the airport having already checked into their flights and printed their boarding passes at home.
