Have flown all over US and world for work.
Starting to see relatively “tired” US airports as compared to others across the world.

Some of the best are in Asia (Singapore, Japan, and even India’s is solid). China trip coming soon so tbd.

Comparatively speaking, JFK, SFO, IAH are relatively old and stale looking.

Is it time to MAAGA?

What are the best airports across U.S. and world in your opinion?

The ones you get in and get out quickly with the proper amenities if you get stuck.

I’m a United Club silver plus member so that has to be an option. There’s a few with a gym/shower option in the club suite.

Changi, Doha, and Tokyo by a mile.

I don't understand the hate for Orlando... yes it needs updating, but I've never had an issue

Also Cancun is pretty decent for what it is

Charlotte absolutely blows
New Orleans is Charlotte with less people, and also blows

Doha was the best one I've ever been in... going to Japan in July, so i guess we'll see what they have to offer

DCA is the most convenient major metro airport in the US.

I've never been to Changi, but that's clearly one of the best (according to everyone else). CDG is one of the worst overseas. The old Istanbul airport wasn't great, but the two story lounge could cause you to gain 10lbs on a four hour layover. The scenery could be nice, the Russian oligarchs would bring in their bevy of beauties. Manchester once you get through security is better than most American airports. Brussels isn't bad either. Dubai (non Emirates terminal) wasn't anything special. Abu Dhabi not remarkable either. I don't remember enough about Haneda, and NRT is just... Japan (in a good way.) FRA does offer an unparalleled view in one of the senator lounges of a concourse of nothing but 747-800s and A380s, but there's no free water almost anywhere and the toilet situation sucks.

Every American airport (majors like SFO, LAX, EWR, ATL, ORD, MCO, IAH) pales in comparison. To Manchester and Brussels. FFS, we're so bad.

Definitely not one of the best in the world but Memphis is surprisingly nice after the renovation.

I really like Bham and SLC. Smaller, more personable. Easy to navigate and get in and out.
