My worst was ATL (hindsight), but I was a kid, and didn't care. Perceived everything as "normal." I didn't get the concept of a "layover." As an adult? I hate MSP so much. DIA rules, O'Hare is meh, and Greenville SC is great, only because it's so tiny nothing matters. The convenience store clerk is also the security. :D COS ranks along the lines of Greenville.

MSP is one of the nicest airports around. DTW is also very nice. ATL is terrible, because it is so **** busy, but the airport is nice enough. Memphis is probably the worst big one I've been to in the US. Denver is meh, not my favorite. New Orleans is kind of a dump. Houston is OK. Dallas is nice. O'Hare is a hellhole. Midway is OK. Amsterdam and Stockholm are pretty nice, and Charles D'Gaule is fine too, except for the French people. Mumbai is an absolute dump. I could go on for a quite a while further (Charlotte, Charleston, Rochester(MN & NY), Lafayette, Seattle, Anchorage, Glasgow, Lubbock, Lulea, Pellston, Green Bay, Phoenix, Hancock, Nashville, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Orlando, Dulles, Regan National, Louisville, Cincinnati) **** I've been to a bunch of airports....
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather

So the Rubes hockey team, my D league team at the Super Rink, has a game that got moved to the Xcel Center later this month. The problem is that they're playing one of the sandbagging teams and are going to get stomped. It's an early enough game that I think I'm going to make an effort to go see it. St. Paul is just so much closer than Blaine to go watch a game. My buddies don't know why the switch happened yet, but someone will find out eventually.

Debatable. I was at Terminal 5 (JetBlue). So it isn't the worst place in the world. Newark is worse.

Its just a miserable place. An eye sore. They treat you like cattle. With all the bajillions they make there you'd think they'd try to make it better. Welcome to NYC, aren't you just florked.

What the hell were you doing in Pellston? :p

Biggest sh*thole I've had to experience is probably O'Hare. I recall the terminal hallways being far too narrow to support the flood of traffic. Heathrow was also a sprawling, confusing mess of terminals and buses. Atlanta is too busy. Not a fan of Orlando's "pod-style" layout. Reno, Salt Lake, Anchorage, and Ft. Myers are average. Vancouver was pretty nice. Flint is older, but clean and hassle-free.

I'm probably in the minority who likes DIA - for being the 5th busiest airport in the country, they handle the volume about as well as they can. If I could change one thing about Detroit, it would be to divide the McNamara terminal into two shorter terminals, then connect all three with a subway like Denver.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather

Morning.

Detroit's terminal halls are far too long. I just pray I will be at a gate near the crossovers when I have to land there. Dulles is annoying because they make you go up and down levels just to stay in a terminal hall. Charlotte seems clean and nice, but its always been crowded when i've been there and it doesn't feel like the airports size supports its traffic. Atlanta is crowded but I go there so often it doesn't bother me.

Greenville is tiny and always empty so can't really judge that place. Tho I was there twice recently.

Pellston was not on purpose. :p

I was flying back from Sweden, supposedly into Detroit with a connection to Traverse City for Diva's wedding. Delta forgot to schedule a pilot to fly to Traverse City, so after quite a bunch of *****ing to Delta, and actually telling them to get my bags off the plane, I'm driving, they put me on a plane to Pellston, where my buddy picked me up and drove me to Traverse.

Hey Mookie, the Asian news anchor here in the Twin Cities is supposedly taking a job in Boston. Thought you'd want to know this little tidbit. She's not bad for the eyes.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather

Morning, Lodge.

I haven't flown enough to care how nice the airports are. I've flown MSP to Orlando twice (at least, I think so. One trip might have been to Miami... It's been 16 or so years), and Detroit to Newark once. Bo-ring.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather

Fun little sequence on The Price Is Right today during the wheel spin. Guy spins 90, woman spins 90 so they go to a spin off! Guy spins 60, woman spins 60, guy spins 10, woman spins 5.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather

I'm a big fan of DTW, though I invariably land at one end of the terminal instead one of the millions of gates in between. The few times I've changed through there my gates have been pretty close together. I love it because it has a National Coney Island.

I think MSP is a great airport, though when I flew to Grand Forks last year, I think I landed in Minneapolis and walked to the next gate in St. Paul. Literally end to end. It took about 20 minutes. And when I realized I had some time, I walked halfway back to the Dairy Queen and they had no chocolate ice cream. I mean, come on. You have TWO FLAVORS!!! So that airport was kinda on my **** list for a while.

Both of New York City's airports were not pleasant. Philadelphia's was the worst. I don't mind O'Hare.

All airports need to get on the FREE WIRELESS kick. I cannot believe there are some that make you pay. In this day and age, it's a major no no in my opinion.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather

I didn't like the Kansas City airport. I was glad someone warned me to get a beer/hang out before going through security. Pod style airport with just terminals and a news stand with premade food once through security.

Happy Friday Lodge. It is quiet here. Production left at 11 and my boss is asleep in his office. Maybe I should take a nap too.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather

ORD hates me, and it's old and depressing. I was with someone who found a cockroach in her salad there.

DTW, ANC, and DEN are nice. MSP is nice unless you get stuck at a terminal waaaaaay out nowhere. PDX is very impressive, could pass for a mildly upscale shopping mall.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
