Palm Springs is probably the coolest airport.

No doubt we had the easiest flight in and out of here last November. I usually do NOLA but it was the best experience, I was pleasantly surprised.

You should have done this on travel to avoid the hoi polloi that thinks that there is something special about Jackson, Baton Rouge, etc. These are Spirit and SWA flyers on the OT.

Haneda in Tokyo is easier to navigate than most US airports. Definitely one of the nicest airports I’ve used. Idk if it’s the airport itself or just that there’s no nasty fat Americans

It was a delta flight out of BTR and we were actually going to Italy. It was the best route. I was just commenting that I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for your derogatory comment

You and Babytac should make out in the office supply room.

and Incheon as well.

Guangzhou (CAN) was brand new and sparkling clean but there was literally nothing inside besides chairs, bathrooms, and tvs. It was like spending six hours in some purgatory.

I fly to Monroe for work and love it. I think there’s like 4 gates so easy access and drive thru daiquiris once my coworkers pick me up.

The Denver Airport has great food and the bizarre yet fascinating murals.

But the location is really bizarre, and is located almost as close to Boulder as to Denver, with the territory within about 20 miles of the airport in either direction being almost completely uninhabited.

MLU, same dude checks your bags, scans your boarding pass, loads the cargo, then flies the plane

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


Scanning equipment is still the old school, gotta take your shoes off and all that shite. Also, there are two different designated ride share pickup spots which causes confusion among visitors and local Uber drivers.

The Orlando tram doors don't stay open long enough for everyone to get off and others to get on.

There's afternoon thunderstorms every day from May through September that cause delays.

Other than that, it's a fine airport.

The Golden Triangle in Columbus, MS.


Got delayed 4 hours there once because the plane we needed to board hit a bird and the mechanic who has to inspect the plane was at his deer camp and they had to go get him and drive him back because “he had a few beers”


Not even joking.

Above ground maybe.

Next time you’re on approach check out all the random tubes sticking out of the ground… easily the creepiest airport I’ve ever been to.

US airports don't measure up because of age.

Singapore is incredible with a waterfall and a butterfly garden and other interesting stuff. When you get through security it is more like a fancy shopping mall than an airport.

Hong Kong has a very good one, nearly new.

Istanbul is good too, though the walks can be long. The Turkish lounge might be the best I've been in.

Just went through Taipei and it gets a thumbs up. Tokyo Narita was good too. As was Seoul.

Haven't been in a while but Schiphol used to be my favorite. But it's dated now compared to the ones above.

Bogota was surprisingly nice.

All of these are better than any American airport I can think of.

Las Vegas airport is the most fun because it has enclosed bars you can smoke in and play slots
