Keith, Chris, and I spent time this past weekend in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on our way to see Keith’s brother, Kevin. It made me think of all the airports I’ve been in recently. Truthfully, I like MSP best.
It’s comfortable; there are lounge chairs — really comfy lounge chairs — in many locations. It’s quiet; most of the floor is carpeted to mute the noise of roller bags. It’s upscale; there is a mini-mall inside with more than just the usual fast food places to eat.
For the fun of it, here are my impressions of other airports I’ve passed through in recent months.
Denver: strictest security. Atlanta: craziest layout. Chicago: takes the longest time to get through security. Philadelphia: Most helpful security personnel. Tahiti: simplest. Detroit: handsomest. Cincinnati: most original boarding system. Savannah: most patriotic. South Bend: most unpredictable. Winnipeg: most utilitarian. Fargo: Cutest small town airport.
Tell me about your hometown airport. After all, you will be flying from it to fred’s grand opening on October 24 of Store One, right?
I’ve been to so many airports in my life, I know how hectic it can get! Let’s see though… Dallas Fort Worth: easiest to navigate. Singapore Changi Airport: most enjoyable. Tokyo Narita: most reminds me of home. Boston Logan: fastest security lines. Los Angeles International: most rude personnel. Hong Kong Kai Tak: scariest landing!
comment by Rachie — September 14, 2008I’ve been through quite a few airports in the U.S. Here are the 4 I remember……Midway (Chicago): worst.airport.ever. O’Hare: better than Midway. Orlando: great signage. Seattle/Tacoma: pretty.

comment by Kate — September 14, 2008the seattle tacoma airport is amazing. its so nice and there is lots of food and cool shops and the security personnel are super nice. one time my brother went through with a jacket but no shirt so he had to take it off or get hand searched it was hilarious.
