My worst airport is Atlanta. Best? Tampa airport.

I’ve flown into St. Maarten. Wasn’t scary at all.

Flying out of Salvador in 2000, then we had tickets for non-stop flight from Sao Paolo to Houston. Bad weather, so we landed ubruptly in Belo Horizonte. We missed our flight out of Sao Paolo and had to spend the night there.

I spoke almost ZERO Portuguese, but a man in the seat next to me explained what was going on. When we got to Sao Paolo, I found someone who worked there, who spoke some English, and the airport ticket booths were nearly empty, I got taxi voucher for hotel, and free hotel for the night, because next flight out was the next day.

I thought the people in the Sao Paolo airport who took care of my needs were GREAT. It was kinda scary being a woman alone in a city of 23K people. My friends were on a different flight from Salvador to Sao Paolo and by the time they arrived at S P I had my taxi voucher and hotel reservation in hand. It was an experience! But it ended well.
