Soxy Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 So, it's vacation season again, and I thought I'd see what everyone's favorite place to fly to and from is. I actually like airports I think they're really interesting. My faves 1.) Minneapolis-St. Paul: always really clean, friendly people, good food court and very easy to find your way around 2.) Detroit: That's mostly due to Acid Trip Tunnel that makes me think I'm in Disney world or that someone put something in my drink. The worst: 1.) Dallas: confusing, irritating, and just general crappiness 3.) Gatwick: dirty, rude people, and kinda gross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Last time I was in KC I thought theirs was excellent O'Hare because it means I'm home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 You liked Detroits airport Soxy? By the time I got out of there I was ready to blow that place up... Damn I don't know if I have a favorite... MDW was easy to get in and out of, but supposedly has gotten bad. DFW I did like, but it was freakin huge. ORD is a disaster.

kapkomet Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Dallas is either really good or really bad. There's usually not an in between. Personally, I like DFW but I know it probably better then any other airport in the country. Boston SUCKS. So does Newark. LAX, meh, it's ok, but I've only been there once. IAH is pretty good. MIA is nuts. Watch your crap when you walk around there. MCO (Orlando) is pretty cool. Man, if I had to list all the airports I've been to... it'd take me a page. Detroit was the worst airport in the country before the renovations. Now it's not so bad. Anyway... enough about that, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Atlanta is awesome; even though it's big it's easy to get around. Salt Lake is pretty nice. Philadelphia's hallways (is that what you call them?) are too narrow, but it has a lot of stores and restaurants. LAX is weird cause it's all sectioned off, I don't think I like that. Hartford is nice enough, no real complaints there. I don't even remember much about Oakland, except that finding everything was confusing as hell. They had all these sectioned off areas and if you accidentally left one you had to go through the metal detectors all over again. It made no sense.

nitetrain8601 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 O'Hare and Midway. Seriously, I love O'Hare's and I think Midway's stepped up their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've been to O'Hare, San Diego, Brownsville, Houston (as a layover...I think it was Houston lol) and Midway. All are okay, but I think San Diego was my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Love O'Hare. As for the others, both St. Lake and Denver had gourgeous airports. I've never really had any problems anywhere but Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Austin's airport is awesome...they don't have any national chains (except Schlotzky's, which is based in Austin), great food, local music IN THE TERMINAL!!! Others, O'Hare isn't bad once you're in it. DFW is fine, as long as you know where you're going. Providence is nice and small. Orlando Las Vegas Portland Vancouver (beautliful to fly in and out of) San Francisco LGA...not so good. LAX...not so good. Denver...too damn far from anything. Seattle...meh. Vancouver (too long to get thru lines) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 ORD - International Terminal is the best designed airport terminal I've ever used. The others are terrible. MDW - OK, nothing special. GRR - Nice, quick, easy to use. FNT - Fisher Priceish. DTW - Customs makes me think I'm in a third world marketplace JFK - Large and comfortable. ATL - Nice to transfer, and that's it. HOU - Awful awful awful BOS - See Houston PHL - Easy to use, not a very comfortable place for a three hour delay. LHR - Nice place, lots to do. Still not worth an 8 hour layover. STN - Big airport, you walk forever to get anywhere. AMS - Huge airport, has a casino. TXL - Cramped. Neat design but overused. CDG - It was pretty and useful for 1968 type air traffic. Not for 2005. CPH - Nice, but when you're stuck for a long delay - boring. Not a single television anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I like Casablanca's airport. That place was amazing. They had gold lined walls with cascading water from ceiling to floor. I was shocked to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there and it is pretty cool. I've only been to the 2 chitown ones, detroit, and london, ontario. The london one had 5 gates, and about 1 plane taking off every hour.

chimpy2121 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I like O'hare and Seattle's aiport. I hate Atlanta, every time I've transfered through there I'm delayed. I also dont like Southwest Florida International Airport. It is one of the most boring airports I've ever been to. They are building a brand new concourse that is going to open this year so I'm hoping that one is going to be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
