KWI is the worst airport on earth.

Logan has direct access to the plane form BA lounges, so that gets two thumbs up

PIT has one central security bottleneck. Ugh. Luckily nobody flies there anymore :)

DXB is huge. So changing can by an issue, but it works and Emirates first class lounge is pretty cool

LHR does that late call for gates, plus term 5 has those satellite bldgs which requires a train ride. And the Concorde lounge cooks all their burgers well done. Fvcking mad cow dammit :mad: doesn’t even make up for the fact if you ask for a bottle of booze, they bring you a bottle of booze :)

Well, the brits couldn't make a decent burger to save their lives, regardless of where it is.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

The thing I remember about Miami was there was a “**** you” toll 1,000 feet outside the airport and the whole city smelled like a landfill.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

Holy **** this customs line is enormous.

ETA: “please have your baggage claim ticket ready”

Errrr what? Never needed that before. Can’t find mine. Hopefully the bag number through the app is ok. :-/

Eta2: CBP in every European country I entered had personality. CBP in Atlanta had none except for his authority boner.

Eta3:
Yeah, Atlanta is a ****ing joke for security procedures. These clowns don’t know what they’re doing. I asked for a tray to put my stuff in.

“Wear it or bag it”.

Dohkay. Yeah, so now I get flagged because I’m wearing a jacket and you get to feel my balls. Nice.

There's only one restaurant in the entire terminal that Delta flies out of. And the beer selection is horse****.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

My mom just messaged me:

“As they say, if you go to hell you’ll transfer through Atlanta.”

😁

Lol. Sure :D

I can’t remember philly, Boston, Miami, or Reagan. Or really any of the other ones.

PHL is bad, but not as bad as everyone thinks - it's just old and has narrow concourses. BOS is okay if you're going out of Terminal A (Delta, SWA, a couple others), and presumably JetBlue's terminal is nice (I'll find out in October). The United & American terminals were horrible the last time I went through them.

DCA was a lot better than I thought it would be. MIA is awful.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

All three DC airports are fine, though DCA is a b-tch to get to.

LGA is where happiness goes to die.

PDX is my favorite airport because it's so stupid.

RDU used to be a wonderful airport but that was a huge renovation ago so they probably ruined it.

ALB is still the easiest airport I've been to. Even with all the Forever War sh-t you can still drive right up, walk into ticketing and be at your gate in 5 minutes.

Narita, Gatwick and Abu Dhabi suck. The new airport in Bangkok rules. That is all.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

The MIA cab drivers (yes before uber) made me nearly kill someone much less the airport
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

I wonder about places like Tel Aviv or Beirut. They aren't huge like ATL, but they must be extremely careful there.

IIRC, I've read that Israel has a completely different approach to airport security than the US. From the minute someone steps out onto the curb at the departures level, the military/cops start to profile them based on their appearance, luggage, behavior, etc.

They are total behavioral profiling and it works for them

Once you’re inside JetBlue’s terminal at Logan Airport, it’s great. The area outside both arrivals and departures is a nightmare. Way too small.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

We’ve now been sitting on an unconditioned jet in 90+ F weather for over and hour and a half.

I can’t win with this trip.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

And now these ****ing idiots just rammed the tow bar into the plane so hard they broke it.

They broke the ****ing towbar.

I’m going to kill someone here real soon.

I don't think I've had a good experience yet at DIA. It is usually a nightmare from my experiences. Long lines, inefficient, annoying. I would try to avoid it.

For real? Obviously I don't travel as much as many of you here, and they had their sh* on point every time I've been through there. I'll give you long lines, but they make them MOVE, unlike MSP, IMO. MSP really means 2 hours lead time. At DEN (DIA, thanks for the info) I probably could have shown up 30 min before my flight and have been fine.
