I've been through 5 airports on my way to Portland ME and back again. Seattle is the nicest.

Posted by Subversive Jan 13 '10, 20:33

Seriously, this place is beautiful, and free wi-fi to boot. The only other airport on my travels to have this was Calgary.

I rank them thusly.

Seattle-Tacoma
Calgary

San Francisco

Portland Maine

Newark

Portland Oregon is one of the best I have seen. Honolulu is my fav only because it's open air and - Redmond Jan 13, 20:45 5
- My only complaint about Honolulu is when I arrived I was a zombie (from Guam), so I only remember it as I was leaving Hawaii. - loosilu Jan 13, 21:00 2
  - I took a flight to Vegas on Ativan and don't remember the fight, or getting to my hotel room. - Redmond Jan 13, 21:04 1
    - Yes that's it. I have zero recollection of Honolulu. My co-worker actually showed me his phone to prove we'd talked. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 21:06
- I was actually going to mention this but felt too talky, but now I must. I love PDX. some of the shops have - amanda Jan 13, 20:49 1
  - They have great food and drink in there. -- nm - Redmond Jan 13, 20:53
The only thing I don't like about SeaTac (aside from the terrible burger king) is that I always have to take 3 trains to get to my connecting flight -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 20:37 3
- Oh, strange. I had to take a train in SFO to get to my connecting flight, but not in Seattle. -- nm - Subversive Jan 13, 20:41 2
  - Flying Alaska south from victoria means 3 trains to get to the right gate -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 20:55
  - that's a function of airline and flight length. like, in PHL, SCE and MDT flights land in F but ATL MDT and PWN flights leave from C. I always xfer. - amanda Jan 13, 20:52
PWM is so nice for a small airport. -- nm - amanda Jan 13, 20:35 10
- It's true, I suppose I'm being a bit hard on it, comparing it to the big ones. -- nm - Subversive Jan 13, 20:37 9
  - It is a real relief to land in Manchester after leaving from BWI. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 20:41 7
    - BWI is awful. maybe the worst ever. from long security lines to waiting an hour for bags to twenty minute shuttle to car. - amanda Jan 13, 20:44 6
      - there is ONE good thing about BWI. SmartPark. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 20:45 5
        
        I don't even know what the crap that is because I refuse to fly from there. - amanda Jan 13, 20:47 4
        
        it's the best parking garage system EVER. digital monitoring of open parking spaces and arrows to show you where ethey are. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 21:02 3
        
        yeah. ask poor max, who was on the phone with me when I was freaking out about missing my flight, how well that shit works these days. - amanda Jan 13, 21:08 2
        
        always worked perfectly for me. have used it for seven years. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 21:09 1
        
        note: it is only in one of the garages. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 21:10
  - I *far* prefer small airports. one minute for security at SCE vs. 20 minutes at PHL or PIT? yeah, I'll take SCE. - amanda Jan 13, 20:38
West Palm Beach is still my favorite. I have yet to come across a better one -- nm - CQ Jan 13, 20:35 1
- is this a poll? I like manchester an awful lot, but of the large airports, logan has fastest security and really - amanda Jan 13, 20:37
aw, Newark's not so bad, but I do like SeaTac. -- nm - loosilu Jan 13, 20:34 1
- could depend on the terminal at a large multi-terminal airport like Newark. - ty97 Jan 13, 20:49
