    In ATL, with required passport control/customs? Wheeeeee, have fun.

        Yes, it's a lot busier. Minneapolis is often annoying because they get bored

            Hartsfield is the busiest airport in the country. They have a pretty good system, despite that, IMO.

              It’s bad because it’s SO busy. I find places like lax and jfk to be faster than Minneapolis due to their familiarity with large crowds. I do think Atlanta is alright for being the busiest

                I tried to rebook through DTW and in a delta comfort seat but those dinguses couldn’t rebook me.

                I mainly just don’t want a 10.5-hour flight in the a-shole of the plane.

                    Maybe try the other way around? Any flights via Tokyo?

                    Agreed on ATL. Customs there aren't as bad as they should be for as busy as it is, but it is really **** busy, so it does take a while to get through.

                    My worst experience with US based customs was in Detroit. Sat in a line there for 90 minutes the 1 time I re-entered there. Internationally, Buenos Aires was a complete nightmare.

                      Had to deal with a little tyrant TSA ***** at DIA this morning. The ******* was telling everyone in "his line:" "see how my line moves faster than those other lines, it is because people are listening to me! Do you have any liquids or electronics?!?!" He started bugging me when I was still 4 people from getting to the table and bins. I ignored the *****. That ****ed him off. He said something like "did you hear me, SIR!" So I responded very firmly "this isn't my first time flying" and went back to ignoring him. It was 4:30am, I had 3 hours of sleep. I was not in the mood to put up with some ****ant's power trip.

                        Careful, giving too much lip to TSA might land you on the new "double secret probation" list.

                          That is the first time I've heard anything bad about DIA. Half the time, they didn't even bother with security for me (this was after 9/11). Basically looked at me, all prepared, shoe-less, all metal in hand ready to drop, and said "fuggit, he's good."
                          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                            The Scotland screwup was 100% personal travel so I didn’t have expectations there about corporate service and rebooking.

                            I do when I’m traveling for work. Very disappointed with the service right now. It doesn’t help that I’ve been jerked around all trip with delays and cancellations.
                            No way you should have let them tell you they couldn’t do anything. As you typed, they are paid by your company.
