I love airports! Have since I was a little girl- granted, I've not been to that many of them, but I still like 'em!

Didn't like the Atlanta airport at all- way way way too big, I'm glad my brother was with me when I had to do a layover there.

I have flown out of Charlotte-Douglas the most, and have found it to be pretty and well organized. You come in, go down the hall, then you go left or right. Pretty simple.

Liked the design of the Denver airport- don't know that much about it as I was in a group that had someone else leading the way through it.

Was in a section of the Philidelphia airport for about four hours on a layover to London, it seemed nice enough but some other people in my group said it was hell if you had to start from the other side of the airport. I also hated the approach- whose grand idea was it to have the runway start 10 feet from the river?

Gatwick was really really big, but again I was in a group with a leader who had navigated it a bajillion times before- came in at like, 5 am to so didn't have to deal with a lot of people. Going out I was sitting in the airport for like, 6 hours (long story, nother thread) and I was trying to find a travel charity that no one knew about (least the police types) so that was definitely stressful. I found the decor to be a bit early 60's and the old style flipping flight thingee to be quaint as hell. Course, this was back in 99 so they could have changed it since then.

Raleigh airport is pretty messed up, but I think they're trying to fix that. When I was a kid my aunt would always take me to the plane observatory thingee, which was fun.

I liked the West Palm Beach airport- seemed to be clean and pretty, but they lost my luggage. Plus I got to see Donald Trump's jet, which was neat!
