Talking about airports...


Dec 18, 2017, 1:23 PM

I've been to a bunch of the major airports, but until last Thursday, had never been to Miami.

Is Miami the chittiest, nastiest airport for a large city, or is there possibly some worse?

I have been in Miami once and I was 16 but I distinctly


Dec 18, 2017, 1:24 PM

remember thinking I was in a foreign country.

I didn't mind the ferners, but the FAA oughtta shut that


Dec 18, 2017, 1:28 PM

place down. It reminded me of downtown Columbia..SC. It was like the aviation equivalent of Two Notch Road.

And I was expecting the Koobans and Spanish...but whats with all the Russians?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ohh...there's worse. Newark, NJ


Dec 18, 2017, 1:25 PM

Or 15 years ago it was way worse than Miami.

I think Newark was what I was thinking of


Dec 18, 2017, 1:27 PM

It was either there or Philadelphia where you had to be shuttled in a van out to the actual terminal. And it was really, really fuggin cold.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-lakebum1-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I've never flown into Newark.


Dec 18, 2017, 1:30 PM [ in reply to Ohh...there's worse. Newark, NJ ]

Just into Laguardia and drove it. Its certainly not a pretty part of the world.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well, the airport ain't lipstick on a pig that's for sure


Dec 18, 2017, 1:32 PM

I guess Trump must have a plane in Newark because he says our airports are the suxor.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-tiggity-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


We flew into Newark a few weeks ago and it wasn't


Dec 18, 2017, 1:54 PM [ in reply to I've never flown into Newark. ]

too terrible. Our friends in NY all agree that Laguardia is the worst airport that services NYC.

they've been making pretty nice improvements to parts of EWR


Dec 18, 2017, 2:50 PM

but it's still mostly a ######## airport and what a lot of people base their opinions of NJ on...that whole area just kinda sucks

I suppose the terminals we went through just didn't seem


Dec 18, 2017, 2:57 PM [ in reply to they've been making pretty nice improvements to parts of EWR ]

any worse than other airports I've been to lately which pretty much is only Charlotte, GSP, and ORD.

It's still that bad***

A whole lot of LaGuardia is impressively bad


Dec 18, 2017, 1:25 PM

Their Marine Air Terminal is kind of a neat relic.

MIA was worse.


Dec 18, 2017, 1:29 PM

I've been to Laguardia recently (in the last 2 years or so).

LGA was pretty bad


Dec 18, 2017, 1:39 PM

I think Vegas is really bad too, especially when you're hungover AF flying back on a Sunday.

Minny is the best I've been to

Dec 18, 2017, 1:45 PM

I just took a job in Minneapolis that's 50% travel. Moving up there from SC is gonna suck, but at least I get to fly out of an awesome airport.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Working at Epic, I constantly had layovers in MSP and DTW


Dec 18, 2017, 4:41 PM [ in reply to LGA was pretty bad ]

I'm not a fan of either of them.


Worst of all Big airports is DFW.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

SEATAC ain't no hawt mama either.


Dec 18, 2017, 1:45 PM

ORD and DFW are just too d@mn big....

FRA and AMS (Frankfurt and Amsterdam) are my favorites, especially if you have access to the Luftansa Senator lounge.

Re: Talking about airports...


Dec 18, 2017, 1:51 PM

Newark is terrible, but to me, Kansas City is just the worst.

It built in a way that could never accommodate post-9/11 security, so all of the gates are overcrowded, with zero access to restaurants or a decent place to sit.

These are the gates at KCI:


2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I wasn't even talking about design.


Dec 18, 2017, 2:39 PM

I meant just outright cleanliness. I never made it out of the terminal at MIA. I had to fly from Nashville to MIA, then MIA to CHS. I got off the plane, went to the bathroom at MIA, wanted to shower, got back on the same plane 30 minutes later, and flew home.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Philly is worse. Detroit the best.***

Philly is bad.


Dec 18, 2017, 2:36 PM [ in reply to Philly is worse. Detroit the best.*** ]

I still say MIA is worse.

member detroit before the upgrades


Dec 18, 2017, 2:40 PM [ in reply to Philly is worse. Detroit the best.*** ]

it was very average

badge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Oh I remember.......it flat out sucked and was usually


Dec 18, 2017, 11:58 PM

a ghost town.

Now they just have the world's most unnecessary monorail. You have to go up a flight just to catch the thing and then walk back down, all just to save yourself a 3-4 minute walk.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


EWR, LGA, MCI (KC), LAX, DFW, MIA, OAK are bad ....


Dec 18, 2017, 2:48 PM

DEN (Denver) is most frustrating... but OK once past security.

I like SW terminals at MDW, HOU (Hobby) & DAL (Love) for business.

Southwest Florida terminals TPA, SRQ and RSW ( Ft Myers / Regional Southwest) are nice.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't like Dulles


Dec 18, 2017, 4:52 PM

Let's take a shuttle bus from terminal across tarmac to another terminal. Come on man!

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

its not nasty though


Dec 18, 2017, 5:26 PM

poorly designed and too big? Maybe.

But not "someone chit on the floor in the men's room and it appears to have been there for a few hours" nasty like MIA.

I flew Hong Kong, Heathrow, Baltimore, Detroit. Saw my family and then rerouted myself to Greenville via Reagan. It’s a messed up life.
