Thread: Worst & Best Airports
-

The views are great, for sure. And some of my feelings are no doubt PTSD from decades of prior travel. For ex, the last time I rented a car there I had to take two busses (took maybe 30 minute) to get to the car rental place and THEN waited 3 hours for a car. That shit will scar you! So it's probably not the worst airport anymore, but I still feel like it is.
It is WAY nicer now, with decent food options and cleaner and brighter/airier. So now my criticisms of the facility are related to the fact that they spent TONS of money and YEARS and still fucked up some shit. For ex, security still can have horrendous wait times (though I got PRE last year and haven't waited much since then) and horrendous lines (as in stretching way out into the main terminal area). Also, to get to the gates they force you to walk through the shopping area like you're in a 3rd world airport (but my GF likes that so go figure). And there's a super long hallway with a moving walkway that only goes ~1/3 the length of the hallway. Like, wtf? Lastly, any newly constructed terminal should have working plugs everywhere, and they still do not. Inexcusable.
Lastly, you mention the short taxi to Manhattan. I am always going into Manhattan. And hate that the only reasonable option is a $60-70 cab ride, so every trip to NYC costs me an additional $130 on top of the flight. I tried the MTA bus a couple of times, and it wasn't terrible (though it took twice as long), but it was a packed city bus and a really uncomfortable ride to the airport with luggage. The fact that a city as good with public transportation as NYC still hasn't figured out great public transport to LGA is just disgraceful."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

it’s not that bad to take the bus to the 7 in all honesty and i’d rather save the money.

There are moving walkways at DEN... it it really that bad?
MCI used to be the easiest airport, unless you had to change planes.Last edited by summit; 04-24-2024 at 04:35 PM.

It would be great to have plenty of plugs, moving walkways and a train there, absolutely. I've been to Khatmandu and watched people push through doors, and a security guy was bitch slapping grown men as they tried to get by without waiting their turn, and slapping them HARD in the face, and it was complete chaos for other reasons too. I get the LGA is one of the worst airports in the US, but by no description would I ever call it "horrendous" or "garbage". That old bus system was garbage though!
I just travelled through there in February and expected a shitty experience going through there based on this thread, but I don't remember much annoying about it, oh well.

The shitty touts are/were broadly a SEAsia airport experience, somewhat irrespective of the actual physical airport plant. The weirdest thing about KTM was exiting a 777 on an airstairs
and entering Nepal or India by Air is far fucking better than going by land

I’ve had worse, but dragging two kids across the B gates at dinner time after being delayed on our flight into DIA and then having to hurry to our next gate, regardless of a moving walkway adding 1.5mph to our travel speed, is not my idea of fun. It just is what it is with Denver as our hub

True, those things go barely over normal walking speed. Add in the clueless gapers blocking the left side and it's almost faster to walk next to them.
Seriously though, I'm past being nice on the moving walkways. It's gone from "excuse me please" to "please stand to the right" to "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY"

Puerto Vallarta, departures. Hands down the busiest most cramped terminal I've ever experienced. its completely undersized. very limited jet ways so your stuck in hot buses and steamy tarmacs. all gates completely slammed, line ups blocking foot traffic to other gates. no where to sit. all gates all slammed. restaurants overrun. security lines jammed. lounges seemed to be all private access no matter what your status, pay per use. I think all flights arrive mid morning and depart mid afternoon so all travelers for the day arrive at the same time. Escalators broken. Epic packed walks to gates.
I've been to like 35 countries most of those 3rd world shit holes and PV departures was the most savage travel experience, ever. It must have been designed as a tiny regional airport that was never upgraded to international volume. It needs to be leveled and re built.

I never had any trouble in PVR when I was working and living there. My port of entry at DEN was a pain in the ass coming back into the states. I never got burritos at that place, I preferred a little hole in the wall in Bucerias that had the best Birria. Man I would stop there every Sunday after shopping at the Mega and it was heavenly.
