If you travel a decent amount, you have airports that you prefer to avoid, and those that you prefer to travel through. From long layovers, to multiple layovers, to congested concourses, to long delays, to subpar places to grab some food, to horrible customer service, there are those things that affect how we view the airports we travel to and from. What ones do you prefer to stay away from? Why do you chose to steer clear of them?
On our list, as you probably guessed, are the major airports. With our travel originating out of a smaller airport, most of our stops end up being at major airports, as we don't have the luxury of many one way flights. Atlanta, Charlotte, Newark, and Chicago top our list of airports we all try to avoid when making travel plans. As most of us have learned, we tend to have no problem leaving our regional airport; it's getting to our final destination from one or more of the aforementioned places. Not only do these airports experience delays, but the amenities such as food, customer service, to the vastness of the terminal, all play a role in adding to the headache that these airports cause. Usually once we experience a problem at one, the rest of the trip is expected to be about the same. A delay here causes a missed connection there, which leads us to a night stay in the terminal, and a chaotic morning sparing only minutes between touch down and that hour long meeting.
Unfortunately these airports are necessary evils in order to reach the places we're going. A lot of patience, some things to take up your time, and the forethought to fit in these occurrences into your travel plans, ultimately save you from chaos once you reach your final destination.
