Blows my mind how many of you like ATL. I think it’s a shite show. The concourses are too narrow and crowded and that stupid tram takes forever.

MCO suuuuuuuucks if you don’t have Precheck. Other than that, I don’t mind it.

The worst for me is MIA. That place is disgusting. The bathroom stalls are falling apart. There’s nowhere to eat especially once you get through security. It’s in serious need of a major remodel. It stinks, too.

For large airports, I like PHX. It’s pretty easy to get through security and getting to the rental car garage will get better once they get the train up and running. Plenty of good food options and the concourses are short which means I can get to the gate with minimal walking.

I like the new Dallas Love so much, I never book to fly out of D/FW. It’s smaller, single concourse has plenty of bathrooms and food options. It’s always clean and has plenty of seats and space even when crowded.

It’s incredibly easy to navigate. You can walk and never use the tram. I do it all the time. I make 30-35 min connections regularly.

Best to me is ease of use and has conveniences if I get stuck there. Worst is pure chaos

How on earth can anyone say the tram(plane train) "takes forever?"

You can get from concourse T to F in about 5 minutes. It's an incredibly efficient airport especially given how busy it is.

The train connects to the rental car center now. No more buses.

Never had a complaint about PHX. Lots of flight options all over the country, and to Mexico and Canada. Flights to Europe leave something to be desired, though. Rare to have a weather delay (in Phoenix), fantastic local food options, close to downtown, accessible via the light rail if that is your preferred mode of transportation, and new terminals.

I am thinking people who aren't fans haven't been since terminal 3 and 4 were totally renovated. The old terminal 2, and old parts of 3 were in rough shape.

I agree with you. I feel like everyone who loves ATL is just used to it and therefore not bothered. Skyclub was also mentioned and that doesn't count since most people aren't in it. I hate the tram and it's almost unavoidable. I have also been delayed almost every time I've flown through Atlanta.

Best - Minneapolis
Worst - 100% LAX and I didn't even have to think about it. Pretty much everything about it is awful.

International - I agree that London is pretty awful.

Respectfully disagree. I am equal distance to both so I will choose whatever works for my trip. However, I do prefer DFW.
