    Best airport in USA?

    What is the best USA airport you have used? I am not sure who I would say is my best but I do know it sure isn't Philly. I fly into and out of that one more than any other USA airport and it is never impressive.

    For food I actually think the Houston airport is the best. The place is huge and has alot of good places to eat. In terms of convenience I have to go with Burbank. It's so much better than flying into LAX

        I hate how broken up houstons airport is .. feels like i gotta rush to get to my gate

          PHL is a mess. I fly out of a small airport in Harrisburg and is great, but always have a connection into PHL or CLT.

          Personally, I like LAX. Terminals are smaller so your not running all over the place if its a gate change

            Ft. Lauderdale hollywood international is good. Miami is a complete shithole. Chicago ohara ranks right up there with miami.

              Dallas/Fort Worth.

              It's all shiny and new with very nice shops and restuarants. They move people around from terminal to terminal on elevated trains.

              In contrast, GWB airport in Houston stinks. Literally smells bad everywhere.

                  I would vote Portland. Always clean, great places to eat, well thought out.

                  For a bigger airport, Phoenix is also nice.

                  For retro Brady Bunch cool, The Honolulu airport rocks.

                            I agree the Dallas airport is excellent, also the Detroit airport funny enough is pretty good too!

                            Best international airport has to be schipol in amsterdam.

                                    I agree with you here but International wise, I don't like landing there..

                                          I have to go with LAX followed by MDW, but it could be familiarity.

                                              how about worst? suprisingly, i think Tokyo is the worst, at least in the security section (i've never been outside it). there is almost nothing there at all, no info centers, no english, nothing to eat or drink, straight up sucks. Buenos Aires airport sucks pretty bad too, depending what section you are in. and then there are the smaller airports in Laos and Thailand, pretty much all lick balls. Bangkok airports are nice though.

                                                oh yeah, and heathrow blows too, not the airport itself, just the fucking lines and security.

                                                  Pretty sure none of those are considered in the USA, but I haven't been to them, so can not be positive.

                                                    Oslo is neat and organized, has a mini T.G.I.F.s. and the waitresses are always cute.

                                                    For speed, I use Long Beach Airport. Literally takes a minute to get in and out.

                                                    note: Yes, I know Ontario is closer, but I spend time in L.A. before I drive home.

                                                      Terminal 5 is way better than the rest of Hearhrow but the airport still sucks.

                                                      Philly has rocking chairs too.

                                                        Best international airport has to be schipol in amsterdam.
                                                        i've flown out of detroit plenty and never had a problem, think it has more to do with northwest though.. No traffic getting there hardly either, which is what makes toronto so shitty.. almost miss your plain with that alone..

                                                            I've only flown into Atlanta once, but I thought it was impressive - big, yet easy to figure out. Loved the the fucking huge escalators they had!

                                                            I live in Sacramento, so I use it all the time. I love our airport. It's small, but large enough. Meaning, it's a full airport, but easy to get around in, hard to get lost in, and easy to get in and out of.

                                                            Phoenix must be the worst.

                                                              I like the smaller airports. Being able to get from the car to the gate w/o having to pack a lunch after living in ATL for so long is really desirable. SNA and the small airports in FL rock.

                                                              I used to fly into HHH at least once a month before Eastern went under. They had an airport bird, cat and dog. My pilot also worked at the car rental counter. They had a handheld metal detector. It was like "Wings" ;) They'd also hold the plane for you if you were running late!

                                                              I like LAS because of the slot machines - I never minded waiting for a flight I like KOA because the flight in and out is so gorgeous.

                                                              I don't like ORD, ATL, DFW - too big.

                                                                          I used to fly into HHH at least once a month before Eastern went under. They had an airport bird, cat and dog. My pilot also worked at the car rental counter. They had a handheld metal detector. It was like "Wings" ;) They'd also hold the plane for you if you were running late!

                                                                          I like LAS because of the slot machines - I never minded waiting for a flight I like KOA because the flight in and out is so gorgeous.

                                                                          I don't like ORD, ATL, DFW - too big.
                                                                          If I could fly into the Allentown airport rather than Philly I would because it is so much easier. It is just that I would have to change planes so many times to do it it is pointless.

                                                                          It is the same deal with smaller airports in the UK though. A couple times this year I have flown from places like London City airport or Liverpool (yes, honestly called the John Lennon airport) and they have been so much better just because of their smaller size.

                                                                            alternatively, the best would be the closest one to where you are going.

                                                                            Or maybe bob hope airport, just cause it's funny. Not as funny as John Lennon airport, but close.

                                                                                  They just finished a whole new USA section where pre-clearances of US Customs is now very streamlined and effective. All new shops and restaurants inside too. Finally done, and worth the wait.

                                                                                      I love O'Hare, but it really is a terrible airport because it's laid out so friggin retarded.

                                                                                      Then you look at something like Denver, which is practically brand new. And it is laid out spectacular.

Small, easy to get around, good food, live bands, quick lines thru security, friendly, almost always on time departures and landings, and direct flights to almost anywhere I need to go.

                                                                                                    I love O'Hare, but it really is a terrible airport because it's laid out so friggin retarded.

                                                                                                    Then you look at something like Denver, which is practically brand new. And it is laid out spectacular.
                                                                                                    I have never had a pleasant experience at O'Hare. The last time I was at Denver they were still building the new part and it was a pain to get around.
