most large ones suck, to varying degrees. DFW - stupid layout O'Hare - just busy |

As a resident of Los Angeles, I can attest to the fact that LAX is an absolute cluster-****.
By contrast though, SFO is actually pretty good. :island14: |
Atlanta doesn't have much to recommend itself either. I hate the large airports where you have to transport via tram/train at some point. I've missed a flight at DFW before when my tram came to a stop and we just had to sit there for like 45 minutes.

EWR usually tops these lists. Of course, this is the shithole I fly into every other week.

Airports I like: Salt Lake City Buffalo Newport News San Francisco (believe it or not...it does have a rail thingy though) Rental car return at San Antonio is fuggin weird. I can't remember exactly how it goes, but I remember it was stupid. Looking forward to seeing how Kansas City (MCI) is when they get the new terminal completed, right now that airport is extremely dated and depressing. |
When me and my wife fly into California we fly to Santa Anna John Wayne airport. It cost a little more but it is worth it not to put up with LAX. We only use LAX to change planes when we go to S.E. Asia. For a large airport Singapore is nice.:cert:

Last time I took my wife to LAX was on a Sunday night at around 11PM. Departures level was JAMMED. Took me 45 minutes to drive through the terminal after I dropped her off. I was driving a stick too. That sucked balls. :ohnoes: LAX might get a little bit better once they have the new International Terminal built, but right now it's pathetic. |

Should be better in a few years though. |
I've been to O'Hare before when it was so busy that even though I had a 5 hour layover, it took me two hours to even get inside a bar/restaurant to get something to eat and drink. Lots of pissed off people that day.

So the best and worst is in L-A? Does the writer live in L-A? I mean, there are airports other than in L-A. Manila for worst quickly comes to mind. Frankfurt for best is huge but easy to get around for me. It also has a sit down Chinese restaurant, a grocery store, and a train station just for three quick examples of variety and convenience.

You should put MNL on the lists....It has 4 terminals dating back to the 40's(WWII era) and a couple of shuttle busses to transfer you from 1 terminal to another....
:dance: |
I have been able to avoid it throughout my career but I have seen multiple surveys that rate LGA as the worst airport in th country.

Flew out of IAH today. Terminal A was easy, peasy, as it is relatively small. Had to change plans at CLT, which is a cluster ****.

I was tired and PISSED having to carry my ~40 lbs overloaded duffle all that way......
