Well, not to mention the security checks.
Have we all become so immune to the TSA that we can't imagine that an American airport doesn't rank among the world's best?
Not sure that it’d win any awards, but I DO love the Charlotte, NC airport with its banks of white rocking chairs That ‘down home’ is kinda cool.
Nowadays, all the ‘fun’ stuff in the airports, better restaurants, better shops, etc., are all past the TSA checkpoints.
