The more you travel, the better equipped you are to know which airports to avoid. Some are just too crowded, some lack decent customer service, and some are, unfortunately, a nightmare.
Here are 10 airports that have left lasting (negative) impressions on many travelers.
1. MCO – Orlando
What do you get when you have an international airport near Disney World? Long lines full of screaming children getting on their parents’ last nerve. Fair warning.
2. LAX – Los Angeles
One of the largest and busiest airports in the country, be prepared if you’re traveling in or out of LAX. The airport is crowded, with thousands of travelers.
But driving in and out of the airport is the biggest complaint of both visitors and locals.
3. CLT – Charlotte Douglas
If you’re passing through North Carolina, consider finding a different airport outside Charlotte. Travelers often sit through long, hot waits on the tarmac, late (or changed) flights, and sprint from gates in a short window to make it to their next flight.
4. EWR – Newark
You can probably find other airports within the tri-state area, but if you have to go to Newark Airport, avoid the bathrooms. Visitors have also been faced with an overwhelming number of delays or flight cancellations when traveling out of Newark.
5. HNL – Honolulu
The downside to traveling to the Daniel K. Inouye Airport in Honolulu is that you won’t have an up-to-date air-conditioned airport. It’s also very spread out, so be prepared to hustle if you have a connecting flight. On the upside, you’re in Hawaii.
6. MIA – Miami
The boarding experience out of Miami International Airport has got travelers talking—and not in a good way. Many people board using wheelchairs, but upon landing, they seemingly don’t need the wheelchairs after all. This sudden cure is caused by what frustrated travelers have coined: Jetway Jesus.
7. ORD – O’Hare
Travelers often report dealing with rude staff or TSA personnel at O’Hare International Airport. International gates are also tricky to get to, as you have to leave the airport to get to them with its strange layout. O’Hare is also notorious for canceling flights whenever there is mildly bad weather.
8. SEA – Seattle-Tacoma
What bothers travelers about SeaTac is its ridiculously long wait times at baggage claim. The design of the airport terminals and specific check-in gates also don’t make sense. Why not have S terminal travelers go through security at S? Instead, be prepared to be sent every which way when going in or out of Seattle.
9. PHL – Philadelphia
Unfortunately, people who passed through the City of Brotherly Love were greeted with less than helpful and often rude staff. Many travelers have experienced poor customer service and were given wrong information about flights and gates.
10. LGA – LaGuardia
Although LaGuardia recently went through major renovations to improve the airport, many visitors still remember the flooded washrooms, dripping ceilings, and general tense atmosphere. First impressions last, and even though recent travelers express the airport has improved, many still won’t pass through LaGuardia.
