I really liked Santa Fe. They don't let jets in and there is only one gate. You walk down the steps across the tarmac and into the one room airport. Then you walk right out the other door and either walk across the lot to a car rental agency or get on the one van that acts as a taxi for everyone going into town. They drive the cart with your luggage right around to the back of the van for you.
I really like the Maui airport because it means you are arriving in Hawaii. Then at the end of the trip it means you are leaving, and I hate that.
I live in Atlanta and I have come to terms with Hartsfield. As big airports go, I actually think it is pretty good, but I have never had to change planes here. I hate changing planes in Dallas. Just give up if you have to change terminals there. The last time I had to run through an unbelievable distance (but I did make a connection that saved me another connection with a 6 hour layover, so I was happy. If there had not been a seat on that plane and I would have had to go back to the other terminal to catch my scheduled flight I would have been pissed.) Another time I went to the tram only to find it was out of service and had to wait more than 30 minutes to catch a bus. I got the last seat in the back and a cover to the motor compartment was not attached. It kept swinging out and back over my head, missing by inches when I ducked.
Charles de Gaule in Paris must be the worst for connections. You have to wait for hours to catch a "bus" to and from the plane. The food is horrible (so much for french food) and you will pay for any work stoppages. I had a four hour layover but a 15 minute strike meant my luggage did not get back to Atlanta for 4 days.
