scose. If you pick someone up at LAX, you need to drive to a special area for Lyft & Uber drivers. In 2020, LAX changed the rules to prevent people from being picked up at any terminal. You need to walk to an area before Terminal 1. In 2021, traffic is no longer terrible.

[@thisissparta789789]

I guess the biggest issue with Kansas City is that it was never designed for airport security. When it was built in the 60s, the terminals were designed in a way so that you could literally go right from the road to your gate once you got your ticket. TWA insisted on "Drive to Your Gate" with flight gates 75 feet (23 m) from the roadway (signs along the roadway showed the flights leaving each gate). Of course, tightened security came about in the 70s and 80s, causing the layout of KCIA to become very problematic.

[@susang6193]

KCI airport security could be placed at the curbside doors as you enter the terminals. Then all of the stuff would be available to those flying.

[@Brandon-Larocque]

100% agree.

[@kenmohler4081]

It was wonderful before the crackdown on security. Park near your gate. But it was shaped all wrong for today’s security. I also think that the Kansas City Aviation Department made it deliberately worse when they closed Terminal A. They were pushing for a new terminal and made the two remaining terminals overly crowded so people would get behind the new construction. Note to Susan - there is no space for airport security at the outside doors. The distance between car side and airside was made deliberately short to provide the easy walk from your parked car to the airplane.

[@gparyani]

Berlin Tegel was designed in the exact same way

I still remember being at LAX in 1972 with my mother and siblings as we were in the process of moving to Japan. The crowds were overwhelming and it only took a moment’s in attention to become separated from my family. I looked and looked for them but never even caught a glimpse. Somehow I wound up back outside and was sitting on the curb sobbing thinking they’d gone to Japan without me and I had no idea what to do or where to go…I was seven. Not one traveler asked if I needed help! Finally a security guard came and took me to an office to wait while they found my mother. Over the last five decades I’ve travelled through LAX numerous times. Must confess, it’s still so hard to manage that sitting on the curb to cry seems like a reasonable response 😂 I try to avoid it unless I’m on a flight that does not require changing planes.

This list includes the 2 airports where we avoided crashes due to great pilots. First FLL where we were already across the runway threshold when the pilot added power and pulled up for a go-around. For those not knowing, the threshold is the end of the runway with the stripes on it the pilots of bigger aircraft use to target the landing. When we were going around I saw an aircraft stopped on the runway having overshot an exit to a taxiway. Second was LGA. We were again across the threshold which I should not have known except the plane was pitched so hard to the right due to crosswinds, I could see out the window across the aisle from me to see those same runway markings. Now someone said it must have been the parallel runway, but the wingtip was clearly visible just above the runway. The pilot executed a snap roll and basically threw the plane onto the runway. I have never experienced a harder landing. I had to find a flight to DC which was not easy as the entire east coast was shutting down due to the weather (my boss and I barely made it out of Montreal to get to LGA). We did make it home that night. My boss later confessed that he had been to Canada a few times before and every time had trouble with transportation to get home.

​@@clash3583 Philippines. MNL (or NAIA to us) was one of the world's worst airports according to an online survey from a little while ago. When I was there in 2012 to go to America, queuing was a pain in the ass, the immigration lot are snot-faced abominations and Terminal 1 looked pretty archaic that it better served as a caveman's watering hole. And I'm being polite because this channel is ad-friendly. In fact, the one of the only few that are tolerable. Luckily when I traveled out-of-country again, it looked pretty decent and clean. The only problem I encountered was still the long queues but other SEA airports have this problem too like KLIA or BKK. Sometimes it was hot because of all the people plus the sun's heat passing through the glass panes but overall it was much better than years ago. I wish they add those moving walkways like in Phoenix next. Sadly, those loud Chinese tourists are already here and the conditions here might deteriorate again.

I’ve been through about every airport in the U.S. I lived outside of New York City in 1986 and 87. Then, Newark was the farthest airport from my home, but I drove there because JFK and LaGuardia were such hell-holes. At least Newark was fairly new and had easy parking. Looks like now New Yorkers have no good options. Things have flipped in Florida. Miami Intl. was such a disaster in the 1980’s everyone I knew (including me) would fly into Ft. Lauderdale or even West Palm so we could avoid Miami. I now live in SoCal. I had to use LAX twice in the last few weeks. Total nightmare, made much worse by what seems like never ending construction. My favorite of all here is Ontario. Never too busy, easy access, people are pleasant, and I never feel rushed. The airfares to the same destinations (compared to LAX) are usually higher, but I gladly pay the difference! I avoid SantaAna/ John Wayne primarily because of their night time landing curfew. I have been stuck several times in connecting airports, because of delays we could not land before the curfew time went into effect. That sucks!

I live in Fort Lauderdale and always fly out of FLL. Over the years, they’ve expanded the airport and added a 2nd runway. They’ve also expanded some of the terminals, added food options, and are building a new international terminal which will open in about a year. Respectfully, I disagree with you that MIA is better. Last year, due to a delay in my flight coming into FLL, Delta routed us to MIA for our trip to Spain. MIA IS TOO BIG, disorganized, and the traffic and getting around the airport is just terrible. I have flown out of MIA a couple of times over the past few years only out of desperation. I much prefer the smaller FLL. I will grant you one thing ... the food options are not like what you’ll find in MIA or ATL, and if you’re flying late, that’s more of a challenge. Hopefully, as FLL expands beyond the 20 million passengers they serve today , the airport authority will respond.

PHL is actually nice. Just busy. Not annoyingly busy. PHL actually has a huge food court. I go to PHL often, and was just recently there to audit my GSE. However, you really needed to add DEN to this list. While the airport is well equipped (bathrooms, restaurants, good signage), it's just 3 huge barely connected long corridors! They have moving walkways, but most times people dont know how to use them, (stand on right walk on left). Coming in on B14 from IAH via a A320, but your connection to EUG is at B83 on a CRJ200, and you have 40 minutes from wheels down to pushback?! GOOD LUCK! Realistically, that 40 minute layover is about 15 minutes because of taxi time, deplaning, then boarding your next flight. Mile High city? Should nickname DEN the mile long airport! 15 minutes to haul your ass from one end to the other, fighting slow moving, cant walk straight, fumbling with phones, dont know how to use walkways, inconsiderate casual travellers.

As a former airline manager at JFK, EWR & STL during the 1980-‘90s and an avid air traveler, I think you did a good job of outlining the culprits and their problems. Airports have two distinct sets of problems; A) the issues that the traveling public see and have to deal with. B) the problems behind the scenes that the employees face every work shift. Airports are strange, dangerous worlds. Employees who are working in the terminals are exposed to the problems in both the front and back of the house. In front, they’ve gotta deal with the same crap the passengers experience. In the back, in there restricted employee only areas are problems of a different magnitude. It takes quite awhile for an employee to learn to juggle the myriad tricks and fixes needed to be able to just do their jobs. I’ve found it takes a certain type of person to be successful at doing an airport job and those friendship bonds are unique to people sharing the experience of accomplishing that job. If you’ve got it in you, it’s a fun job and great place to work. But… you can’t be soft, or one who easily gets stressed if you are an airport will eat you up.

There are hundreds of different jobs at airports supervised by different companies and government entities. So, it is not surprising that there could be a great deal of confusion behind the scenes.

I'm going to have to disagree with you about O'Hare Airport. It's very easy to get to and from this airport. The expressway goes straight to downtown, there is public transportation (CTA) that gets you to almost any place in the city, and O'Hare has plenty of parking. The signs are easy to follow. O'Hare even has it's own train system that gets you to and from parking spots and different terminals very easy. O'Hare is a very good airport. I do agree with the TSA part though, they can be a pain in the ass.

[@daltonhunter4800]

All you need to know about O’Hare is that it was either the takeoff or landing spot for nine of the top 10 most delayed flights in the U.S. in 2014. It’s overcrowded, and if one flight gets delayed, it creates a nasty domino effect on later flights.

[@kevinmeyer5485]

[@TrainSounds]

[@suntanman99]

O'Hare is very confusing for someone from out of town. It takes a long time to find good parking and a long time to get from the lots to the terminal and vice-versa. Online it advertised $10 per day parking but when I got there I was told all of the $10 spaces were full and I had to settle for $17 per day. Even though there were covered spots open in the parking garage, the attendants there forced me to park on the uncovered roof. The elevators in the garage weren't working properly on all floors so I had to lug heavy bags up and down stairs. Once you finally get to the terminal it is pretty congested for my taste and yes, TSA is not good there. It does have good flight prices and lots of direct flights, which is why I drove from Grand Rapids to Chicago to go to Seattle, but the airport experience is awful. If Midway Airport is available as an option, I recommend taking that instead as it is smaller and closer to downtown than O'Hare. Detroit Metro Airport is much better experience too.

We overseas travelers had to exit the security zone in order to fetch and carry our luggage to the domestic terminal for connecting flights. The bus to the domestic section was always full so most of us walked over grass and divider walls to get there, dragging our luggage along. Never been back to EWR since.

Currently LAX does not allow taxis, Uber, Lyft, or local shuttle buses at the airport. You have to take a bus to a staging area about 5 miles away. Who can drive to the airport? Hotel and rental car shuttle busses. Also, private autos.

LAX Airport is the reason why I switched to Ontario International Airport.

[@mikeparsons1210]

Richard S. I use Burbank, way better than LAX.

[@damfst23]

Isn't Ontario international just a cargo field for UPS ,Fed Ex and Amazon?

[@starz4nad]

Actually I went to Newark and Ft lauderdale in one day and there were seats at Newark but not a lot but Ft Laurderdale was actually good!

[@zoznack]

Once you've gone through JFK a few times, Newark actually looks pretty good. It has a decent rail connection to Manhattan via PATH and is about 30 years ahead of JFK.

[@judsonkr]

It takes a lot to make Newark look good.

[@dabestout101]

I've been to all those airports you've mentioned, and I can agree on each and every single airport on your list with the exception of JFK. I agree JFK is insanely big, but would a smaller international airport makes sense for a city like New York? At least JFK has transportation to take you from terminal to terminal, try dealing with the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport then come talk to me.

[@jamesymitchel5257]

I’m on a plane now with a layover in phoenix I’ll see what I think!

[@henrimatisse7481]

Really? Sky Harbor is no big deal compared to Dulles

[@Araythus]

ngl, I actually quite enjoyed my layover at the Sky Harbor

[@sd906238]

It sucks like LAX where you have to go outside then back thru security to get to the next terminal.

[@marymacdonald2379]

Agree 100%. I don't know why Phoenix was not on this list. Don't do a connecting flight through there without at least an hour between flights--even then you may not have time to get coffee. It is just too spread out.

[@ROBYNMARKOW]

I call LAX "EXLAX" bcuz it could use some for it's slow AF lines..

[@BigSlick40]

That joke about bulldozing down the airport, grow a forest, then burn it down was fucking hilarious.

[@suzyq_lasvegas4536]

I’ve only flown in and out of JFK once. It was clean, but I’ve never been to an airport that the workers moved so slow. One line with three agents for Jet Blue was open and it took a good 45 minutes to check in. There was about 15 passengers in line. So I have to agree with this being the worst. Portland, Oregon is my favorite, easy in, easy out.

[@michaelplunkett8059]

Nah, JFK is a dream compared to LGA. Think worst mass transit bus terminal filled with morose, angry people. Employees and passengers. Sadly, I am a native New Yorker. Travel is great because every place else is wonderful.

[@maxgold5750]

FLL is way better now than it was 7 years ago. You need to update your list and not include places you have been 7 years ago. Things change lol

[@postnutcognition]

MIA is way worse too, hate that airport so much.

[@ralphfinelli9968]

FLL>MIA anyday. MIA is literally like going to another country. FLL has made some significant changes it is actually a nice airport now.

[@DocentUSA]

I've been to MIA and FLL airports and I have to say FLL is much better than MIA. I've arrived and departed at MIA a couple of times and I absolutely hate it. FLL is more convenient and passenger friendly. MIA terminals are old.

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

FLL definitely has improved.

"3 million people take off and land each year." Actually it's closer to 700 million. DTW (Detroit Metro Airport) alone hosted 37 million passengers in 2019.

[@life.annuityira.773]

ORD is amazing there are so much things there and it's kinda fun! I always have excitement going to ORD because I love flying but the agents I wouldn't say are racist cuz they're so nice even at 4 in the morning

[@owenmitchell1469]

Candy 1230 I’ve flown through there a few times. It isn’t the best airport ever but I wouldn’t mind flying through it again.

[@beckography]

Okay why is Dulles not on here

[@beanblues]

Beck Hassen IAD is not too bad

[@matthewwesterhoff6470]

Agreed: Dulles is one of the worst and very outdated.

[@Ktaurus26]

Beanblues it’s out dated. For our nations capital it’s a embarrassment.

[@shom7790]

I go there for every flight, it isn’t overcrowded and it isn’t outdated. It is a little expensive, although it is a pretty nice airport . It’s not amazing but it is not bad to make it on this list.

[@magical_catgirl]

I've been to IAD once. Never again. DCA for me. Even BWI and the hour train to DC is better then IAD.

Cito Browne what? I’m an LA native and have done a lot of traveling. Lax is a joke. No excuse to not have all the terminals connected without having to leave and go back through security twice for a connecting flight. Thank god for the renovation but it’s a clusterfuck to drive there.

[@cito1101]

@@Ktaurus26 well That's because I have been on flights that are not connecting flights, on flights that go towards LAX, That's why I don't see a problem with the terminals of LAX, you sir don't know what you're talking about

I checked four suitcases once. I told the person at the counter that I wanted one bag to go to New York, one to Chicago, one to Los Angeles and the last suitcase to Dallas. They said that isn't possible. I replied, Why not? You did it last time!
