After all, it was the influx of foreigners starting in the mid-19th century that turned a Chinese fishing town into the international hub of hedonism. And that's a status Shanghai isn't going to surrender to China's dowdier national capital without a fight...

According to Rich Smyth, head of redevelopment for JetBlue, the terminal is located in a 78-acre corner of Kennedy airport, a swath large enough to allow for the optimal "placing of aluminum" - industry slang for maneuvering airplanes.

Architects installed cleaning-supply closets at the gates to assist flight crews in maintaining a fast 30-minute plane turnaround time, and JetBlue hopes that each...
