Bush in Houston is always a pain in the arse, and Denver always fricks something up if I connect there. In fact Denver is the only airport I've ever had luggage not make it on a plane or have any kind of bullshite hassles.


Forgot about Denver. Not a fan of that airport either.

I love DEN, but their baggage claim seems confusing as frick. I've never had issues, though

O'Hare has a light tunnel to the international terminal.


Pretty easy to get turned around at O'Hare, and the international terminal blows chunks.

Worst: JFK (delays, constant construction, shitty staff) and Atlanta (delays, shitty staff).

Best: Charlotte and Miami

Agree with you on the international terminal. It completely sucks. I usually try to hit up the sushi bar if I have the time.

Explain yourself, since both of these are without question in the lower tier of major American airports.

atl.did have a bar that you could smoke in. it was a comfotable bar where you actually sat at the bar lol. Don't know if it is still there.

Heathrow sucked to me but any airport that I have to go through customs does. The Bahamas customs are not bad though.

Charlotte is terrible. Old and musty, and you have to deal with Useless Air

Charlotte is easily navigable, clean and the staff was mostly friendly. I was also never delayed there (in my half-dozen or so experiences).
Miami is clean, good selection of restaurants/bars and the staff is pretty good. I also like that they have those phone charging trees near the gates.

The transportation system is without question the worst of any airport in the nation. None to speak of whatsoever, and it is desperately needed. You land at B-1 and have a flight out of E-15 and have an hour layover, good fricking luck making that flight, especially if you have a disability. Had that exact route 4 days ago, I was in Zone 2 and they were rapping up loading Zone 5 after booking it through the airport. If I walked, I would have missed it for sure. They need a massive overhaul on te transportation in that airport.

Charlotte is clean with rocking chairs easy to get around but you have to go through security and out the front of the airport to smoke. Then you can count six seconds between watching planes.

Knoxville is another bad arse smaller airport like ABQ, and they have rocking chairs everywhere

KNX might be my favorite, actually.

Seems like more often than not, I get delayed in Atlanta.

I actually like Oklahoma City, Dayton, and Hobby in Houston for the most underrated airports.

my local airport has the rocking chairs to wait on luggage it is a southern NC GO SLOW slow down- thing. Try flying into ILM sometime. It is an international but only has maybe 3 airlines. It is only international because ILM is Hollywood East with a movie studio down the road and Travolta lands here all the time and stars private jets; that live on Figure Eight Island NC. So customs is cake for them.

Never been there, but I've heard terrible things about that airport.
