My first impession on the USA: your airports is fucking mess !
 

Just arrived to Miami from Los Angeles, and I must admit that local airports is seriously fucked up. I traveling a lot in my life and even in Africa and Asia one getting much faster and better service....Starting with the long lines to check in,paying 15$ to check in your bag(so 300$ ticket is not enough to cover it),after need to bring your bag to screening in TSA, some areas closed, they sending you to look for another area, more long lines for the security check, that asking you to remove shoes and shit? Buy food on the plane? Again the ticket not covering that freaking 10$ sandwich? Ahh and last but not least waiting for our bags in Miami for 45 minutes. I'm surprised and want to know, how you American taking all that shit for the airports/airlines?

You obviously set off the tranny detector as soon as you applied for your visa and the TSA was protecting America from chicks with dicks.

You can't hassle them for doing their job.

Bend over baby. No lube.

They have airports in Africa?

:-)

Thanks for telling us something that we already know :thumbsup

In my home country, Israel,the security in airports is very tough as well, but its organized and fast. People can do their job in different ways, its all about the proper management IMHO.

Leave it to the jews..
:disgust

yeah, it sucks here..

LAX is possibly the worst experience possible known to mankind. Miami not much better.

I fly into San Francisco and then Fort Lauderdale.

People are friendly. Things are cleaner. Works more efficiently.

2c

I couldn't agree more. I hate traveling now. Its the biggest pain in the ass. Not even taking into consideration all of the new charges they have. 98% of the time your flight is delayed

MIA is like JFK... We usually offload the 3rd worlders there... No self respecting American citizen would use either airport.

Here is a hint... Fly into Ft Lauderdale when flying within the US. You will note there are no urine stains and chalk lines on the floor like in Miami.

LAX is great - I recall flying in there a few years back from Australia and I was bone tired, disoriented and hungry so I rolled up to McDonalds and ordered an Egg McMuffin. The fat black mama behind the counter looked at me and just laid into me, "We ain't go no egg mac muffins, motherfucker, can't you see it's 1 in tha afternoon?? Can't chu tell time??"

I'm with you! I can travel literally around the world, flight after flight with NO problems. Yet as soon as I step foot on American soil, everything turns into a small problem. One after another until I am begging to get on the next flight out to anywhere.

American airports are without question among the worst in the world. The staff has attitudes, security sucks and they have no idea how to process passengers.

Miami is a horrible airport, one of the worst I've flown through in my opinion. Can't comment on LAX.

I've only been through two airports in Europe so far, Amsterdam and Frankfurt - both were rather nice - but comparable in my opinion to the nice US airports (MSP and Denver come to mind)

But yeah.. security in the US is horrible. No justification there. And yes, the checked bags fee is stupid as well. I've never understood the whole drink/food service for the short (3 or less hours) flights to begin with to be honest.

Yeah I forgot about the whole US airport-staff attitude thing... My limited EU experience does uphold the reputation that elsewhere is much better in that respect :)

LB-69, if you ever fly into O'hare in Chicago, you will see the worst airport in America. I've been to every major airport in America and O'hare is the WORST by far. Huge parts of it feel like an abandoned mental hospital with exposed construction, cinder block walls, and chipped, dull gray paint. I dare anyone to claim an airport worse than O'hare.

A-FUCKING-MEN

Laguardia isn't much better.

LOL Jimmy, its sounds like a line from Pulp Fiction or other big "cult" movie...:1orglaugh

Lmaooooooooooo @ this whole thread

being much much smaller and heavily subsidized by americans probably helps , just a little.

shrink usa down to new york then give us billions of dollars in donations and i bet we can have shithot airports too :)

maybe not in north america but in central america i got ya beat . tegucigalpa honduras has the worst airport i have ever been to. we did customs by candlelight , most major airlines wont fly into the airport anymore. They ration there power , even the airport. we came in with no runway lights, just dudes with flashing lights

Ill just stick to burbank airport

Ive been to JFK several times, Amsterdam, Zurich, Gatewick and Heathrow in London, some others in Eastern Europe... I liked Gatwick the best in London, and never liked huge airports tho for the first time it has some wow factors. Flight connections is what makes me sick, sometimes you have to wait hours sometimes its like you need to run to catch up. Regarding shoes, yeah, i saw Indian people taking shoes off and bending over, dude, i am a white man and take this shit honorably, they didnt ask i didnt take shoes off. I can only say since 9/11 this country has significantly changed and is rolling to shit reminding me Soviets more and more each day.

welcome to post 9/11. We are only protecting ourselves from terrorists and have not had another attack since! I guess the tight security is working :Oh crap

I think you answered your own question about why it took you so long to get through the Airport...See here in America we have a little thing called racial profiling...

If your black or Hispanic you get pulled over by the cops in your car... if your even remotely middle eastern looking you get stopped at the airport... thats just how we roll :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Without question the worst airport I have ever been to. I FUCKING HATE O'HARE!!!!!

By having poorly maintained badly managed airports and not giving people egg mcmuffins?

the things this country endures to protect Israeli interests, eh?

:2 cents:

i'm guessing they do the same thing to the Muslims?

You're in a shithole aka miami. What do you expect. The average salary is prob $10/hr and there is 20 million people who dont speak english.

The Tom Bradley terminal is a nightmare...Domestic is pretty bad too but there is no greater mind bending experience then trying to get through the international section with 200,000 Koreans, Japanese, and Filipinos trying to go in the opposite direction as you...:Oh crap

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

are you kidding? organized and fast? in israel? NOTHING here is neither organized or fast...

and how do middle eastern people look like?

maybe like this????

Not all Muslims are of Middle Eastern decent, but i know what you mean...

My friend is from Mumbai and he swears they stop him every time for "a random additional security screening"... I tell him to take his Indian ass to the airport four hours before his flight leaves so they have time to give him a full rectal exam...

No No No all Middle Easterners look like this

And they do have cars but cant drive them because America steals all their oil :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Yeah I agree with you 100% on this.

P.S. - Welcome to Miami. One of the trashiest municipalities in the U.S.A :thumbsup

Maybe you are terrorist :)

TSA is a joke, run by morons that couldn't train a monkey to throw poop

I have to agree with you, American airports are far by the worst I've passed through :)

ohare was the first airport I went to ages ago, its a mess

Been through there more times than I can count. Looks more impressive on YouTube :2 cents:

Flying into Heathrow isn't any better these days. The smaller UK airports are so much easier that I have taken to getting the train up to my inlaws and flying in and out of Manchester instead because it is so much easier.

you could have shithot airports if you would not invest it in bombs to throw on other countries ;)

and then the people of those countries are not upset and don't fly planes in your buildings

win/win

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh welcome! hahaha

i think they took 5 people to design the ideas behind the airport (security, check in, etc). each person had their own specific part. while designing the airports, NONE of the 5 people were allowed to communicate with each other until after the airports were built... just my :2 cents:

although LAX is not that bad. airlines are split up between separate terminals or 2 share 1, so you dont have less people and a little less confusion goign on
