Worst airport in the USA

    Maybe, but you'd get there on time if you weren't loitering around in the bathroom, trying to pick up men.

    Hey, he just has an abnormally wide pooping stance! Just like Sen. Closet!

    The Moscow/Pullman airport is so small it would be difficult to make it so rental cars weren't easy to find.

    Count me among those who don't care for San Jose, though that might also have to do with a bad Hertz experience.

    In my limited travels, Newark is by far the worst. The traffic sucks, the staff sucks (and smells), the interior is about as drab, boring and inexplicably expensive as possible and good luck with getting your luggage within an hour of your arrival, if at all.

    Second on Newark. Everything he says is true. No one spoke English when I was there, either, and there is no signage directing you toward... well, anywhere. Piss on that place and the smell would improve.

    I've flown close to 100,000 miles in the last 10 years and I've never had a problem with Hartsfield or O'Hare ... which probably opens up the Pandora's Box of shitty karma for the next time.

    O'Hare. Always delays.
    Detroit is nice on the inside, but you have to walk three miles to get to some gates and that gets old. Plus Northwest is horrible.


    Cleveland is easy to get in and out of.

    Along the lines of Moscow/Pullman, the South Bend airport is absolutely horseshit. We all remember the infamous Peter King MMQB story about his daughter missing the plane because he was looking for food, well after having flown out of South Bend since then I have a bit of sympathy for the little darling. It's a fucking bus terminal with airplanes. Once you go through security the only food to be found comes from a vending machine.

    Well, there is the train that runs the length of the place.

    Even by small airport standards, Wichita's airport makes me want to blow my brains out of boredom when I've flown there. I don't think a single emenity has been added to that place, aside from 9/11 security stuff, since the mid 70s. Nothing but brick wall upon brick wall to look at.

    There's a bare-minimum style snack bar and a magazine kiosk to keep you occupied once you go through security. Easy to fly in and out of, but pray you don't have a delay.

    I've noticed a lot of airports have struggled to integrate bells and whistles like restaurants, etc., in the post 9/11 era for the flying customers.

    Most airports have restaurants, etc., but in many cases, they're behind the security line, and thus, inaccessible once you get to your gate unless you want to go through a major league hassle to go through security again.

    The thing I noticed about Miami when I was there is there was an abandoned second floor above the gates which looked to me like it was or was planned to be commercial space. Could be wrong, but that's what it looked like.

    Newburgh, NY. (SWF). It has no bar.

    End of thread.

    Where do the Northwest pilots hang out, then?

    I recently flew from/into an airport that has only two departing and two arriving flights every day. Smalest commercial airport I've ever used.
