re: Worst Airport You've Been Through?

Detroit is the worst in America... I refuse to fly through there

You have either never flown there or are completely full of shite.

Nashville ~ BNA may be one of the best airports in the US. It isn't too far from downtown Nashville and it's extremely clean, efficient, quick. They have a nice assortment of restaurants, shops and bars too if you are stuck with a long layover.

It's the wind in Wyoming. Once at Casper the wind was so strong they literally couldn't open the plane door for about five or more minutes after arriving at the gate.

I am indifferent to flying but I really love airports. I don't know why. It is always just a fun experience for me. I have flown often both personally and for work and I've been to quite a few airports in the US. I haven't been to any that I didn't like, although I prefer larger ones. I like DFW, ATL and Cincy the best.

Jacksonville
Bahrain
LAX
San Francisco

Never really had any issues with IAH..then again my layovers have always been rather short so I've been in and out. LFT is the shite like one other poster said..BTR has a smoking lounge which is always nice

employees in food areas were rude and obnoxious. Pulled in to this sports themed restaurant and the guy working behind the counter was dropping F bombs every 6th word.

I'd be miserable too if I lived in Vegas


ETA: also throw San Diego on that list..the TSA agents there can go suck on a rod

I'm the same way. But like flying too

Munich in '93. The Eastern block was fading but all the vestiges were there- Soldiers with machine guns tapping on the van windows for us to show our passports at airport arrival, vending machines that were all grey with black tape letters spelling out "Coke" and Pepsi. No color, everything and everyone so drab and depressing.

You are confused. Munich has never been part of East Germany or the old communist bloc. The airport might be bad, but not for that reason.

it took ten pages to correct this goofball about munich, but i'm glad somebody did. forget the old DDR, frankfurt is the crappiest airport in germany that i've travailed through.

IMHO, the southwest terminals at hobby before the renovations were complete shite. o'hare is always funky, dirty, and crowded. and terminal 2 at sky harbor in phoenix is a total shithole.

I will agree with this. No bars that I know of by the gates. Paradise Bakery is ok food wise.

The layout of Kansas City's airport has some real advantages since it isn't a hub. Passing through security tends to be a lot faster with a decentralized system. Compared to STL (a centralized system) it was tons faster to get through and especially faster since 911 slowed down security checkpoints even more.

Yeah I never fly and just like to make stuff up

Sorry, there have been a bunch of stupid people saying that Detroit sucks including the airport. If Detroit is the worst airport you've visited, I'm guessing you just walked in and out of it. It's a shite hole city with a great airport. I've never heard someone who has actually visited the airport diss it, but plenty of morons who just assume it sucks.
