I think the worst located is DEN. That place is way out in the middle of nowhere, takes forever to get to the rental car facility, let alone the city

I've flown in and out of hartsfield for about 15 years now and never had a single problem.

I honestly think that most people (not necessarily you, rize) are intimidated by its size and if/when they can't figure out where to go they end up just saying the airport sucks.

I love DFW

I'd like to see a list of the best airports, DFW and PHX are my two favorites.

Went through O'Hare twice in the last two weeks and it wasn't bad. Domestic it has to be Miami.

International Doha is horrible, the gate seats are behind glass walls and you have to go through security to get there, once there you cannot leave, so if you have to go to the bathroom you better have an empty bottle.

I've got a problem with ATL's tiny corridors. If they're boarding several flights at the same time you can't make your way through the hallway, feels really cramped. I also tend to have problems with delta (I know many others on here have zero issues with them).

I can't tell you how many times I've arrived at DFW and been the only person going through security at that time. Feel like a VIP every time it happens.


The worst for me is Chicago Midway. You crest a hill in the concourse only to see a sea of people waiting in haphazard security "lines." IE:

Most likely to be involved in an international conspiracy: Denver

Dallas Love Field is pretty bad too. There's only one check-in area for 20+ gates.

Besides Miami is expensive--if you're heading that way look into Fort Lauderdale.

Surprised this didn't go to Denver. JFK is located near some parts of civilization, which is NOT the case with Denver. (But Denver is otherwise one of my favorite airports)

Unfortunately DFW is poor on baggage retrieval--takes forever to get your bags (only Midland/Odessa is worse).

I agree with Miami even though I never checkin at the airport. It looked miserable

Charlotte is the fricking worst at connections. I've never had a gate change that didn't involve going from one corner to the opposite corner of that airport.

LaGuardia was a shitshow getting a ride out of there upon arrival. It was the US Open Labor Day weekend so OK, but it was midnight and the cab stand was over 30 minutes long, maybe an hour. Plus its a dump.

Security lines aren't a thing for me any more, but you just know they are going to make every one Precheck/Global Entry one day and frick it up for me again.

What's DTW done to you? Employees? Facilities? I actually don't mind DTW, the few times I've gone through there that train inside terminal A is pretty good and it's hardly been crowded anywhere in the terminal.

I love those end of E to end of B connections. Makes for a great workout, just hit the AC on the way over and it at least makes the journey a little better

WTF? It's almost the same distance to EWR. A lot of airports are way the frick out. At least JFK has relatively easy mass transit options unlike Dulles.

The only thing I could see JFK over DEN is that most people going to JFK are going to Manhattan. 20 miles in NYC is ridiculous. Some people flying into DEN are going skiing, not to downtown Denver.

Ya, I'd think Dulles would be worse than JFK.

First off, where else could they put the damn thing?

Newark was actually really easy to get to by train from Penn. Dulles is convenient for me specifically because my inlaws live near it, not for actually going to DC.
