The Deuce: I've never been to Houston. Never seen a reason to visit.

IAH is a pretty terrible big city airport. That’s all. *

this got me curious on the status of the Ohare renovation plans - IlliniSax05 Yesterday, 13:04:29
- Give me a nice regional airport. I love CIRA (Bloomington).* - MojoJojo Yesterday, 13:07:49
  - Peoria is surreal to me every time I go there* - Sounder Yesterday, 13:17:21
    - Absolutely miss flying out of PIA - ISeeDeadHawkeyes Yesterday, 13:25:23
      - The problem is you're flying on a shitty plane, probably to connect somewhere* - Sounder Yesterday, 13:27:04
        
        You're going to connect somewhere from virtually every regional airport. - Illiniphil Today, 10:49:55
        
        right, and honestly a large number of the CRJ and Embraers have been replaced by Boeing/Airbus - ijustkrushalot Today, 11:04:59
        
        Which is why I prefer to live near a major airport - Sounder Today, 10:59:18
        
        There are fewer CRJ 200s flying those routes, so the planes are improving. * - Dilbert Yesterday, 17:59:15
        
        the plane from CMI to DFW has first class now! * - assassin Yesterday, 18:53:34
        
        Right, it's a better airport experience and a worse flying experience - ISeeDeadHawkeyes Yesterday, 13:38:13
I've never been to Houston. Never seen a reason to visit. - complainant January 4, 2026, 20:07:49

One of the best food cities in the US - Sounder Yesterday, 12:33:59
- They have country *and* western.* - DT Today, 14:28:24

Agreed - I try to use Hobby as much as possible * - bulldogmba January 4, 2026, 18:45:34
- I had not been in to IAH in a decade. It was dark, dingy, low-ceilinged and felt like something out - LovetheChief Yesterday, 10:41:02
  - They're redoing it but yeah, at least in the terminal Delta uses, it's pretty meh. - ATL Yesterday, 12:04:19
    - The skyclub at ORD is nice, though.* - illinibone Yesterday, 17:49:21
    - The United terminal is pretty nice (C I think?). - uofi1998 Yesterday, 12:45:32
      - I was in C, the United terminal. Not good. Not good at all. E was a little bit better and seemed - LovetheChief Yesterday, 13:06:57
      - It feels like every airport these days has the good terminal (where the dominant airline resides) - Sounder Yesterday, 12:47:28
- Even worse. * - uofi1998 January 4, 2026, 20:22:07
  - nah - Hobby has been awesome for me - wonder why it was a bad experience for you? - bulldogmba Yesterday, 13:34:08
    - Just an awful part of town is part of it* - uofi1998 Yesterday, 19:33:45
    - Hobby is my airport of choice in Houston. Closer to the city and where I typically needed to go - ATL Yesterday, 13:59:26
  - Let's be honest, most American airports kind of suck* - Sounder Yesterday, 12:34:19
    - Fair... those that I think are pretty solid... - uofi1998 Yesterday, 12:43:32
      - Denver’s location always gets a bad rap but it’s a 37 minute train to downtown - snipes824 Yesterday, 13:12:23
        
        I can't stand it... especially compared with how perfectly centered PHX is.* - uofi1998 Today, 10:23:17
        
        I've been to the airport twice in the last seven months and it's pretty meh - ATL Yesterday, 13:16:41
        
        To sounder’s point, it’s a united hub so the united areas are the best parts - snipes824 Yesterday, 13:34:49
      - SEA has been under construction for basically a decade - Sounder Yesterday, 12:45:28
        
        The new international arrivals hall is amazing. Way better than the old dungeon.* - illinibone Yesterday, 12:47:22
        
        The front ticketing area is a disaster these days* - Sounder Yesterday, 12:48:31
        
        AS just opened some of theirs, the north security checkpoints are a disaster - illinibone Yesterday, 12:57:46
        
        I took the light rail home from the airport a few months ago - Sounder Yesterday, 13:04:07
        
        The worst. I park at the airport for trips less than 4-5 days. Even at 37/day it's cheaper than RT - illinibone Yesterday, 13:48:35
        
        Never flown in there... the list of those is getting shorter...* - uofi1998 Yesterday, 12:46:32
        
        I've been to 99 of the top 100 markets in the US - Sounder Yesterday, 12:48:07
