I wondered if Charlotte would be mentioned. They got the rocking chair idea from our small airport on the NC coast. Charlotte is my favorite large airport. I especially like the statue of Queen Charlotte where it looks like she's taking a bowling ball to the gut.

Believe it or not, I like O'Hare, just for that ligh-sound tunnel where the lights follow you and different sounds chime as you walk by them.

Kansas City is pretty nice. Every airline has its own little terminal and the parking bus takes you right to it.

Dislike:

San Diego, I don't care to look outside my window see somebody across from me in a building window. They must have miossed the memo about removing your airport to outside of the city.

DFW, like the KCI system in reverse. 4 big ass terminals and your connecting flight is always at the furthest gate. Plus, the cart nazis who honk at you to get out of the way and then block you off when you're running to get to your connecting flight.

St. Louis - the tram has ALWAYS just left for the other side as I'm walking up to it.

<s>Reagan</s>Washington National. It was already named after a president. The one time I flew out of here, it was jam packed and folks were setting off the metal detector constantly and TSA did nothing about it.

Raleigh - Hey, we haven't changed anything in the last hour. Let's knock down a garage, cordone off large areas of pavement, and remove an escalator.

And one no longer in major use - Denver's former Stapleton airport. You know the Fisher Price toy popcorn push mower? That's what it feels like to land at Stapleton, after making a kamikazi descent.

Worst. Airport. Ever.
