Worst airports in US

Okay so this is another dumb yahoo story, then I saw this:

The best that could be said about Houston is that there’s a reasonably good chance that your flight will take off and not be canceled. The bad news? It has a less-than-desirable location (18th) and lousy Wi-Fi (17th). But remarkably for such a big airport, it had a strong showing in the category of baggage handling (sixth).

Bad wi-fi? wut?

They have wi-fi?

I think complaining about airports is one of America's national pastimes

Haven't had bad experience at any of those that I've been to, with the possible exception of PHL (but that's cause I got stranded by weather overnight there and, well, terminal F apparently stands for "fridge". The AC was on full blast so despite it being in July, it was incredibly cold all over the terminal that night.)

I hate Phoenix. The airport is shaped like an "H" and I'll guarantee you your conecting flight will be in the other half of the "H"

Seattle airport is cool. Great restaurants

In my experience Atlanta is the worst that mile long terminal every time you get off at one gate and your next flight is on the other end annoying when you flights are spaced out if not you have to run I had that pleasure a few times.

So what's worst? Losing your luggage or unable to get in contact with your facebook friends

Obviously its Facebook.

For 90% of people Im sure.

Now you have an airport with bad WiFi and then the Ciniabun is closed all hell breaks loose.

I hear Chicago-Midway aeroport has a cool display hono(u)ring the Battle of Midway. I've never had the time to go look for it.

Stop your whinging, I've never even stepped onto a jet let alone board one!!

I think the number one problem with the airport in Houston is that you are in Texas.

...and you're not supposed to, being that you're living on a British penal colony. If Oz had aero-ports, the prisoners would escape. You could make a raft though and go on holiday to Kiwiland.
