    There's only one restaurant in the entire terminal that Delta flies out of. And the beer selection is horse****.
    Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

          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.

            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.

                The MIA cab drivers (yes before uber) made me nearly kill someone much less the airport

                  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.

                          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.

                            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.

                                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.
                                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.
