Newark is the worst I’ve flown too. LaGuardia, although very nice, is a close second due to the fact is a long walk from check-in to the gates.

Newark is an old airport that probably has not had any upgrades on a meaningful level in at least 30 years. Last time I flew out of there was last year and was doing it on a Saturday afternoon....which should be the least congested time there to fly. The TSA line to the gate was understaffed and the the chokepoint was being worked on which created a line. In comparison Moisant has multiple people working that checkpoint.

Don't have much of a problem with Charlotte. Hate Atlanta....because it is Atlanta, but it's modern and works pretty well given the amount of people moving through.

It isn’t that bad if the AC is working.

But I don’t leave with the World Club until it’s last call for my flight.

Charlotte has a ton of construction going on currently, but hopefully that works out well. American is also an inferior airline to Delta, and that hurts Charlotte operationally with delays, etc.

Can’t believe people don’t like the Atlanta airport. For as busy as it is, it is one of the easiest and most efficient airports out there. Never had a problem there. Not many airports its size you can easily make your connection with just a 30 minute layover.

Newark is gross but it’s the easiest one to get to NYC from. Hate JFK. Haven’t been to LaGuardia since the renovations.

Philadelphia’s airport is pretty awful. It’s probably my least favorite I’ve been to.

Friend,

The renovated La Guardia is one of America’s great airports. It is up there with San Francisco and Jackson Hole. If you haven’t flown there in the last few years, I highly recommend it.

Newark could use some updating, but it remains an efficient and well designed airport. I have never had difficulty arriving to or departing Newark. JFK is so large and intimidating to me. I probably like the Dallas airport the least because it seems I always have delays there.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

New Jersey is the a-hole of NYC. All the shite flows there.

Newark’s international terminal is pretty bad. Probably the worst I’ve been through in the US.

Atlanta really isn't that bad outside of the dirty bathrooms, but they probably have more people taking a shite than any other airport in the world.

Uh, b/c you have to take a bus to change terminals, and not only are you taking a bus, but the bus uses the tarmac to get around, so you are waiting for other planes to pass by when you get to “stop signs”.

LaGuardia is now very nice. People that haven’t been recently will be very impressed

Newark is getting better. The new Terminal A is nice as well.

Without a doubt, Dulles is the worst airport I go to. frick that place. Literally hasn’t been updated since it was built, dogshit food options, and the people movers / mobile lounges…

Believe it or not Newark has made a lot of upgrades over the past 5 years. I don't think it's too bad now. It was an absolute nightmare in the 90's. It is pretty well designed for driving around if you need to drop people off or pick up. I just went through LAX last month and it's the worst run airport I've been through in the past 20 years.

Break off some funds for Precheck. Both times I flew out of Denver the Precheck line was nonexistent while the regular line seemed like it would have been a rough time.

Newark is my personal worst. I avoid flying in and connections through there. I have family in NJ so it's unavoidable at times.

LGA has the nicest Delta Skyclub in the country now.

Rebuilt LGA is great.

Old LGA was one of the worst in the nation between the horrible traffic to the city and the dilapidated facility.

You must not travel much if you think Atlanta is a bad airport.
