And another.
What I particularly enjoyed about this airport is the second level. Its like entering a different building. On the lower Main level, its hustle & bustle, typical airport overcrowding mayhem.
Walk up the stairs to the second level, and it seems like the noise level drops 50 decibels, the traffic clears, there are clean, quiet places to sit, read, eat or generally just get away from the crowds. Video screen flight schedules allow you to remain in touch, as well. I didn't leave the upper level until I was boarding.
The Best!
Oh, and my vote for worst airport is Tampa, FL hands down. What a hellish experience. Wide open spaces, cathedral ceilings, huge gathering places (crying babies, sneezing, coughing, hollering anyone?). Plus it takes a week to get to your gate, as you have to take a freaking monorail to the gate terminal.
Cancun, Mexico is another torture chamber. Ungodly amounts of people, bright garish distractions everywhere, waiting forever in 90 degree heat with 500 other angry, sweaty people to have your passport checked by a half asleep attendant in a room the size of a small convention center.
