Poll: What is the best (and worst) airport in the US?

Show all answers

Tim

Here's my list of the Best and my list of the Worst with reasons as to why:

BEST:
1.) Orlando - spacious, and full of windows where you can observe the active runway for plane spotting
2.) Tampa - Same reason as above
3.) Austin - A revamped terminal to look ultra modern
4.) Princess Juliana in St. Maarten - Public beach only 20 feet from runway!! Check it out on Airliners.Net (Not in US, but the coolest!)
5.) Honolulu - It's outside! And the weather is awesome! When you walk through the terminal, there's open air coming in. It's really refreshing. Why is it not my favorite? Well because the TSA aren't the brightest, it's kinda old, and I get tired of hearing Mahalo all the damn time!

WORST:
1.) LaGuardia - Delay Delay Delay! Too many damn airplanes for that tiny amount of ramp space
2.) JFK - Due to LaGuardia's traffic as well, JFK is always in some sort of delay. Plus the eight terminals that you have to take the train around to catch. Makes it difficult if you are connecting internationally on a carrier that doesn't interline
3.) Newark - Due to LaGuardia and JFK's traffic, EWR is always in some sort of delay
4.) O'Hare - I can't think of a time where I didn't get delayed out of there.
5.) Nashville - The TSA overthere has to be the biggest group of rednecks ever assembled with metal detectors! When I worked in that airport, I though they were the dumbest people alive
6.) New Orleans - Everytime I walk into that terminal, I'm like "Damn, is the 3rd Ward in the C concourse too??" Also I grew up in New Orleans and worked at good 'ole KMSY too. Ghetto...
7.) Atlanta Hartsfield - They don't call Atlanta the dirty dirty for nothing!!The airport is filthy too!
8.) Houston Hobby - Their baggage claim area is the dingiest thing I've ever seen!

DCA is definitely up there with the best, and I'm also a fan of BOS, although there's nothing terribly special about it. SFO isn't too shabby, and the international terminal at IAD looks lovely with all of the flags hung up.

LGA, like other posters have said, isn't the best. Neither is ATL, ORD, EWR, PHL, or MIA.

Just my two cents =]

hilfyy

The best airport is Orlando International airport b/c it is so nice and cool. It has like palm trees indoors, the people are friendly an dthey have cool shuttles to get to baggage claim.
The worst airport is deffinitely LaGuardia because the security system is so slow they only have like 4 metal detectors and never have all of them open and that mkaes the line so long, the TSA workers are rude and undriendly, its too small and squished

I love TPA. I've also grown to like
MDW (Chicago- Midway)
COS (Colorado Springs)
DEN(Denver Int'l)
Kahului(don't know the code)
DCA (Washington D.C.)

I don't particularly like--
YYZ(Toronto)
LGA(LaGuardia)& MCI (Kansas City)
MIA(Miami)
and the most-- ATL(Atlanta)

I don't mind these, but they're not my FAVORITE:
ORD (Chicago, O'hare) gotta show some hometown love
PIT (Pittsburgh
RSW (Regional southwest florida)
SRQ (Sarasota/Bradenton)
FLL(Fort Lauderdale)
HNL (Honolulu)

sorry for the jumble--
all time favorite- Kahului.
The landing in the UA 777 was great. Amazing view of the Hawaii mountains.

and the worst la guardia

the best Syracuse regional

I've only been to a few but the Seattle and Honolulu ones are really good. Redmond,Oregon is a small city therefore a small airport so it's about the size of a house and they have one metal detector but overall it's safe. They only fly out those propellor planes. It's VERY nice inside and they're expanding it...
