Has anybody actually left on time at LaGuardia?


We left the gate on time then sat there, but that is what I would expect for an airport in NYC.

ATL doesn't make either list



Atlanta is actually a very efficient airport for its size.


Most flights and passengers per day in the world.

No BTR? SHITHOLE U GUYZ!!



Philly and Newark suck big time. you'd think NY would have better airports but they don't. And as much as people hate to admit, ATL is nice.

DFW has always been great for me, EXCEPT when I fly international. Customs through DFW is a nightmare. There are like 20 booths to check passports and whatnot, yet there's only 3 people working. It's been awful every time.

How is O'Hare not on this list?

It's nice enough, but the waiting, delays, and general incompetence are up there with the world's worst.

For the volume of traffic it handles, Atlanta is a terrific airport.

I believe they left the small airports off the list because JAN should be #1 then.

If you need to kill some time Kansas City's airport sucks major balls.


Witchita's is pretty bad too, and so tiny it makes New Orleans airport feel like O'hare.


How the frick did you get laid over in Witchita?

So fricking garbage


Alot has changed with the new terminals and the trains. Only have to take the stupid bus from the international terminal.

Flew in and out of Dulles last month I was amazed how much better it is.

7. Frankfurt Hahn International Airport, Germany


How does this even make the list? Its not even Frankfurt's main airport.

Its an hour outside the city and used to be a US Air Force base. Its a cargo airport that also has low income airlines fly out of there. Ryanair, Sun Air, Easy Jet etc. It looks like a dump but all that aside its a very easy airport to navigate and get through security or customs.

I have had no troubles with McCarron in Las Vegas at all

Minneapolis airport has to be on the list for one of the best, iPads are everywhere throughout the terminals

Agree with LGA being horrible.

And for as many times as I have flown in and out of DFW, I have never ever had a problem

Well sad to see that the airport in Pakistan made the top of the list. If I ever find myself in that airport, my life has taken a dramatic turn for the worst at some point.

The list was created by "sleeping in airports." ATL wouldn't make the list, because they know everyone will be delayed and have to sleep there, so they make it comfortable.

Also, LGA United terminal is shockingly bad. Their Delta terminal was actually pretty cool, though.

LAS is tricky. Yea, based on "sleeping in airports" the machines make it tough, but after a weekend in Vegas, I find most people can sleep through anything.

Cancun should be higher simply because it's always packed and there is no way I am closing my eyes anywhere in that place. Too many sketchy people.

I would support a movement to burn Orlando (MCO) to the ground.

Once you land you can wait a LONG time to get to the gate (have to cross all the other runways that are always busy).

For me that isn't an issue since I'm getting off and going home. For someone transferring to another plane it can be heartstopping to see if they will make their connection.

Other than that it's pretty nice. And we are renovating the terminals.

Anyone flown through Doha in Qatar? I never have and just booked a trip and that will be my hub. Wondering how good/bad it is since it's virtually brand new.

I've learned over time that ATL isnt that horrible.

Also, I think LAX makes the list purely because of name value.

No Houston (Bush)? Maybe they should do a ranking for particular terminals within airports. If so, Continental's at Bush is awful and would rank somewhere high on the list.*

*as of the last time I was there about 6 years ago.

Yea, you may have some outdated information.

eta:
If you are talking about terminal B, than half of it is still a big commuter dump, but the new side is really nice.
