Just interested in finding out which airports are the easiest to maneuver and which seem like going through a landmine everytime?

I hate LaGuardia and San Francisco just because the planes are never on time. I found Oakland Airport to be convenient for me here in the East Bay. OAK is a major hub for Southwest so theres about a zillion flights to LAX and other western cities. Plus nonstop flights on Jetblue to JFK and also NONSTOPS to Hawaii, Tahiti, Amsterdam, Paris and others that I cant recall right now.

soar[Pittsburgh///// suck===ATLANTA & DETROIT...!!!!!!!

Well, Minneapolis always seem under construction, with delays. Denver is too big to make much sense. Houston (Bush) is laid out strangely. The construction in front of SFI seems interminable. I like Charlotte, Savannah, especially Tampa. LAX is not too bad. Raliegh-Durham is nice. Going from domestic to internation at Newark is a hike. Dulles is just a huge hassle. I love the new (Reagan) National in DC ... how many airports offer a tour to see the original work commissioned from over 30 artists? I am partial, being only 10 minutes from DCA. When the Demos take over the Congress, we need to get the name changed back to National. Ciao

landmine central:
1. Chicago-O'Hare sucks
2. La Guardia is cursed
3. San Francisco uses WWII runways
4. DFW is bigger than the city of SF
5. HNL terminal is a glorified parking garage, and everything is 5 miles away

Airports that work:
1. Reagan, hate the man, love the airport
2. Oakland, easy as pie, groovy vibe
3. Atlanta Hartsfield, big but do-able
4. Minneapolis, good alternative to CHICAGO
5. JFK, hate the man, love the airport

airports that suck:
1 CHICAGO O'HARE SUCKS
2 SAN FRANCISCO uses WWII runways
3 LA GUARDIA is cursed
4 DFW IS BIGGER THAN THE CITY OF SF
5 HNL TERMINAL BLDG IS A GLORIFIED PARKING GARAGE, AND EVERYTHING IS 1.5 MILES AWAY

EASY AIRPORTS
1 REAGAN-DC, HATE THE MAN, LOVE THE AIRPORT
2 OAK, EASY AS PIE, CLOSER TO SF THAN SFO, GROOVY VIBE
3 JFK, HATE THE MAN, LOVE THE AIRPORT
4 PITTSBURGH, ALMOST EMPTY ALL THE TIME
5 MIDWAY-CHICAGO, SMACK IN THE HEART OF CHICAGOLAND

L and FF-Why do you feel the need to interject your personal opinions about politicians who are either dead or sick, into this discussion? It really serves no purpose.

Personally, I think that Phoenix is a pretty good airport with a lot of destinations and carriers.

La Guardia can be trying at times, one time our plane sat on the runway for 90 minutes and then they decided to take off only to return to Newark 30 minutes after take off and we were basically told to find alternative flights on our own. Airlines are more responsible than the Airports for our angst.

Hey Lui-This topic was debated a couple of months ago! Do a text search and you will find it...

Tamp International is great. It's laid out very nicely. So easy to get everywhere.

Sandi,
or should I say, Political Correctness Task Force Officer, You are taking the conversation on a tangent by interjecting with your stupid comment. Why in the hell do you think I made those statements, BECAUSE here in America, we are free to make such statements. If you dont like it, thats your problem. Were I to gush on Reagan or Kennedy( I dont really hate the latter,just his womanizing ways), would you still question me? Not that I would have to answer.

Oops. Meant TAMPA International. Not TAMP

FFlyer-No one asked for opinions on airport names. Stick to the original question. Sandi is entitled to her say here as much as you are. If you can't control your knee jerk reactions and play nice--go somewhere else.

I agree that Oakland passengers have this groovy-techie vibe going on. Where the airport lacks in size it makes up in good, Cheap(Now theres a word you dont associate with airports)food and this zoo-like craziness to it, please people seem generally happier than at SFO. I live in Seattle and everytime I go to the bay area, I generally fly into Oakland.

You and sandy are the ones trying to veer of the subject. What airports doyou like billy boy? Instead of trying to play knight in shining armor,mind your own business.

Love Field in Dallas is pretty alright, if alls your doing is flyin to Houston
or San Antonio.

By the way, I dont care for George Bush the man or the airport.
wonder if that'll get me in trouble.

I prefer O'Hare to Logan, any day.

And for the record, the name of DCA was changed to force people, esp. those who supported the air-traffic controllers, to say That Man's name. I never will. It's like saying "Outmoded Computerized AirTraffic Chaos and Deregulated for Fat Cats" National Airport. RR's actions regarding airports and air travel had direct bearing on my life as a traveller, not so it's not just a random political statement. It will never be anything other than "Washington National" to me.

But while we're at it, I didn't love J. F. Dulles that much, but at least the man was definitely a traveller -- he was never at home!

And I know who LaGuardia was, but who were O'Hare and Logan?

Figures the liberals on this forum have turned an innocent question into a political debate again. Can't you people give it a rest?

Amazingly enough to me, SeaTac (Seattle Tacoma) was the dirtiest, most rundown, airport I've ever seen. Surprising for some reason.

Cincinnati Skankport is a smoker's haven, you have to stand outside in subzero weather if you want to breathe. That was about eight years ago, hope things have changed.

Only at LAX have I ever had to wait in line to exit the front door because I had to prove to security that the suitcase I was carrying was in fact my own, and not one which I was trying to steal.

DIA (Denver) is alright assuming that everything is operational (the trains, the luggage carousels, etc) but that's a big assumption.

Airline travel is no picnic and the airports are no breeze.

Is there an airport in Zanzibar?( Just kidding)
