Denver is the best by far imo


I flew into there for the first time earlier this month (have to go again at the end of the month).

I agree that is well run. Get off the plane, get to the train to the main terminal, go to baggage claim--and my bag is waiting for me. Out the door, look for the bus to get my rental car--again, waiting for me. Coming back, easily through baggage check-in and security, to the train and to the plane.

The only downside is that it's 30 minutes away from civilization (and an hour from where I needed to be).

I like going through ATL. Never a bad experience.

LaGuardia is bad and it should feel bad. Has Memphis been updated yet? If not it's a smelly dump itself.

Memphis is classic seventies construction that has not stood any test time has given it. Total dump -- easily one of the worst.

DCA is the best for its size. So easy.

Philly is shite, what a dump.

After traveling a decent amount recently, charlotte and lax have been my worst experiences. Charlotte takes about 20 min to walk from the regional jet jungle to any ther terminal. Lax the terminals feel so small.

LAS should not be on that list. Their logistics are sound. MSY should be on that list.

I always loved Memphis... But that was likely due to being able to make my own drinks in the Skyclub

LGA, MCI, LAX, OAK all suck.

MSY hate has got to be the non-frequent Southwest traveler who is stuck in Terminal B.

I've never really had a problem with Memphis other than the fact it was a hub for Northworst Airlines and the TSA agents only check white folks luggage.

DCA is the way to go. Plus you are right on the blue line.

I'm in the middle of doing half this list. LAS shouldn't be on there, unless you are counting feeling like shite every time you're there.

MSY only bothers me because security can be "inconsistent" with what they'll allow. So every now and then someone actually cares and you get a slowdown.

JFK, LAX, and Dulles are all dumps.

Oh frick me I have to go through one of the World worst list. Nvm I don't yay

I have had 2 experiences with US Airways and CLT. The first was a flight from JAN to CLT and then I left the airport and I thought it was fairly well organized and efficient. The second time I had to make a connections for an international flight. My flight was late so I had to haul arse through that son of a bitch and then get to the gate only to find out that my flight had been cancelled three weeks before but they didn't email me or inform me and even let me print out a ticket for a cancelled flight. Luckily I got on a flight an hour or so later.

Freak US Airways!

Has anybody actually left on time at LaGuardia? It's fine and all, but every time I have flown through I've been delayed.

If you really want a long wait for your baggage, try Midland/Odessa.

They have two gates and one baggage claim area. You can see the outside (and the planes) from the baggage claim.

Quick retrieval, right? Wrong. I have gotten off the plane, walked downstairs, stood in line waiting for my rental car (the counters are across from said baggage claim), gotten said car, and STILL the bags aren't unloaded.

DFW is faster than this.
