LGA and LAX (to get in and out of with traffic), DFW (to get luggage), MIA (if you want to depart on time), MCO (for all the people with kids going to Disney if you don’t have precheck, granted they’ve been better recently but could be because of the pandemic lighter travel crowd).

ORD. I have never had a flight depart on time at ORD

IAD is a blot on American infrastructure, and that’s saying something.

LGA in 2019. So much construction. 45 minute waits for Ubers. Shuttle to get cabs.

London Stansted - so far from the city center and way too many people there at 3am since all the Ryanair flights leave at 6am or something. Also just so much walking.

It blows my mind when I travel outside the US just how bad US airports are, both in appearance and often the experience getting to and from.

ORD. SAN. IAD. MIDWAY

Aside from the people movers (those alone do it for me lol), what do you hate about it?

Just went through IAD for a connection. Same airline and I had to walk SO FAR like SO far and uphill at one point..?... And what is up with the old carpet that eats your bag’s wheels?!

Singapore

IAH. Missed my connection after flying in from an international flight, purely because of the incompetence of the airport officials and TSA. My one and only missed connection in 20 years of international travel.

Philadelphia, Memphis, Kansas City

I just flew into Memphis this weekend, the new terminal B they just opened is a HUGE improvement
