DTW rated the best? Are they crazy? The sojourn to pick up your baggage takes longer than the flight. And don’t get me started on the TSA guys who seem like they were recruited from the nearest car wash.
O’Hare is the one that amazes me. There are so many damn taxiways, and the airport is so large, that it took my last flights 20 minutes to get from the gate to take off, and landing to the gate.
Insanity.
Same thing with Boston’s Logan. I swear that the baggage handlers just sit outside and wait with the bags just to annoy people. It takes forever. We’ve waited as long as an hour to get our bags. LAX is also a nightmare both inside and out. We fly in and out of Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood airport and find it traveler friendly. Our favorite airport is Long Beach.
Atlanta ATL is not a shabby airport but it can get way too crowded and noisy. Those people transfer carts with their loud, high pitched beeping warning sounds is like torture on the ears. Having to ride the trains between the terminals/ bag claim and another one to the Rental Car Center adds to the ‘joyful’ experience.
