Airport List
Top US Airports:
- Las Vegas - Because of the Gambling (obviously)
- Minneapolis/St. Paul - All of these airports are starting to look alike, but the arcade put this one on the map
- Atlanta - Chick-Fil-A plus
- Cincy/Northern Kentucky - Plenty of starbucks, nice book store, bang bang
- Salt Lake City - Suprise, suprise. The Delta Crown Room Club here is fire. You also take off right next to the mountains, nice view.
- Detroit - I know you're shocked as hell (me too), but the new japanese resturant sealed it. Moved down because familarity breeds contempt
- National - Because of the Cheesecake Factory and the seafood resturant. Good lighting
- Philadelphia - Barely makes the list because of the krispy kreme
Ambivalent Airports
- Columbia, SC - Very pleasant suprise. If it wasn't for the fact that only small planes fly here, this might make the above list. The rocking chairs are a very nice touch.
- Raleigh/Durham - ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... the sweet iced tea saved this one from making the next list
- Portland - Primarily because of Peete's. Also, nice layout. Like Salt Lake City, there's a nice view on landing (green forests)
- Midway - I know folks are going to be shocked that this one made the ambivalent list, but the Potbelly saves it from further disgrace...
- Dallas/FTW - Upon further reflection, nothing special
- San Diego - ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was there a couple months ago, and I can't even remember it. Not a good sign.
- Denver - Tough to get through security sometimes, but otherwise I like the design. But the security process really sucks. Only slightly less than Las Vegas, which honestly should be moved down.
- Logan (Boston) - A lot of people hate Logan, but I haven't had terrible experiences here. Try the restaurant right before security.
- San Francisco - Not a fan, very functional circle though.
Worst US Airports (In no particular article because they suck):
- 96. BWI - I feel like i've never had a good experience here. Also, there should be much better food.
- 97. LaGuardia (NYC)- Its just something about it that I hate. I can't figure it out. Maybe its the 40 dollar cab ride to midtown.
- 98. LAX (Los Angeles)- Behemoth of ineptitude
- 99. Alberquerque - What the fuck were they thinking?
- 100. O'Hare (Chicago)- Literally hell on earth. I mean I know Chicago and I don't get along, but dayuuuum, is it like that? I swear to God, my flight gate couldn't have been further from the security check point if it was in Peoria. Not only did i get put on another airline, but of course the airline was at another terminal... A horrible, horrible ordeal which i would wish on no one (especially because you had to go outside to walk between the terminals - in a snowstorm mind you). Just fly into midway, trust me.

My 2 cents:
-Worst airports= any and all airports that have armrests between the terminal seats...where the hell am i suppose to stretch out when my flight is inevitably delayed
tata,

second loyal reader here.
your addition of the chicago bit was actually funny. "kudos." the peoria part especially. i think ima go ahead and bang that richard pryor now. the snowstorm part makes you sound like a bitch tho. i would edit that shit out.
and i hate people that say "tata."

O'Hare? You've obviously never flown into (or out of) Chicago's Midway.

Here's an airport that straddles the list: Boston Logan Airport
Thumbs up: It's new Delta terminal A and the Legal Seafood option near US Airways gates.
Thumbs down: Terminals C,D,& E should be condemned. I too had to walk between terminals in a snowstorm, apparently the construction company thought plastic wrap walls would really shield me from 40 below weather. Oh yeah, and HORRIBLE SIGNAGE!!!
