What is the best airport for a cross country layover? All the direct flights are sold out 😫

Aside from amount of space allocated to airlines, the large airports are interchangeably boring. So it really depends on your airline and the amount of options for flights if you get stuck. Go with the largest hubs for your airline. For American that’s DFW followed by CLT. For Delta it’s ATL followed by MSP. For Southwest it’s PHX.

If you are flying United, it’s “why are you flying United?”

If you have lounge access with your airline or Amex, then it’s a total different story.

Dfw if you transit thru terminal D or renovated C it is quite nice

DEN. Security sucks but the airport Westin is out of a Star Trek movie!

funny

The one with the best connection times and dependent on what airline you’re flying on. Options are mostly DFW, ORD, IAH for center of country.

Other options include DEN, CLT, ATL

They’re all about the same.
SEA, PHX, DFW, CLT, a few others.

I refuse to go through DEN, they always lose my luggage.

Yes, SEA is Seattle. They’re all OneWorld alliance hubs.

I like Denver. DFW isn't horrible. Avoid Atlanta

As a layover airport I like Denver

safe and ORD the delays suck

Are you going east to west or west to east? Could make a difference in connecting flights being cancelled if the connection is later in the day. DFW is my home airport - if you connect there and have much of a layover you can hang out in terminal D - roomy, shopping, grub, etc.

I ended up taking SEA one way, and DFW the other. DFW was pretty decent with admiral’s club. SEA was a quick layover but there weren’t many food options and no time to hit the lounge.
