Message Thread | This response ↓  IAH is a pretty terrible big city airport. That’s all. * - LovetheChief January 4, 2026, 13:41:15 this got me curious on the status of the Ohare renovation plans - IlliniSax05 January 5, 2026, 13:04:29 Give me a nice regional airport. I love CIRA (Bloomington).* - MojoJojo January 5, 2026, 13:07:49 Peoria is surreal to me every time I go there* - Sounder January 5, 2026, 13:17:21 Absolutely miss flying out of PIA - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 5, 2026, 13:25:23 The problem is you're flying on a shitty plane, probably to connect somewhere* - Sounder January 5, 2026, 13:27:04 You're going to connect somewhere from virtually every regional airport. - Illiniphil January 6, 2026, 10:49:55 right, and honestly a large number of the CRJ and Embraers have been replaced by Boeing/Airbus - ijustkrushalot January 6, 2026, 11:04:59 Which is why I prefer to live near a major airport - Sounder January 6, 2026, 10:59:18 There are fewer CRJ 200s flying those routes, so the planes are improving. * - Dilbert January 5, 2026, 17:59:15 the plane from CMI to DFW has first class now! * - assassin January 5, 2026, 18:53:34 Right, it's a better airport experience and a worse flying experience - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 5, 2026, 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 January 5, 2026, 12:33:59 They have country *and* western.* - DT January 6, 2026, 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 January 5, 2026, 10:41:02 They're redoing it but yeah, at least in the terminal Delta uses, it's pretty meh. - ATL January 5, 2026, 12:04:19 The skyclub at ORD is nice, though.* - illinibone January 5, 2026, 17:49:21 The United terminal is pretty nice (C I think?). - uofi1998 January 5, 2026, 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 January 5, 2026, 13:06:57 It feels like every airport these days has the good terminal (where the dominant airline resides) - Sounder January 5, 2026, 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 January 5, 2026, 13:34:08 Just an awful part of town is part of it* - uofi1998 January 5, 2026, 19:33:45 Hobby is my airport of choice in Houston. Closer to the city and where I typically needed to go - ATL January 5, 2026, 13:59:26 Let's be honest, most American airports kind of suck* - Sounder January 5, 2026, 12:34:19 Fair... those that I think are pretty solid... - uofi1998 January 5, 2026, 12:43:32 Denver’s location always gets a bad rap but it’s a 37 minute train to downtown - snipes824 January 5, 2026, 13:12:23 I can't stand it... especially compared with how perfectly centered PHX is.* - uofi1998 January 6, 2026, 10:23:17 I've been to the airport twice in the last seven months and it's pretty meh - ATL January 5, 2026, 13:16:41 To sounder’s point, it’s a united hub so the united areas are the best parts - snipes824 January 5, 2026, 13:34:49 SEA has been under construction for basically a decade - Sounder January 5, 2026, 12:45:28 The new international arrivals hall is amazing. Way better than the old dungeon.* - illinibone January 5, 2026, 12:47:22 The front ticketing area is a disaster these days* - Sounder January 5, 2026, 12:48:31 AS just opened some of theirs, the north security checkpoints are a disaster - illinibone January 5, 2026, 12:57:46 I took the light rail home from the airport a few months ago - Sounder January 5, 2026, 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 January 5, 2026, 13:48:35 Never flown in there... the list of those is getting shorter...* - uofi1998 January 5, 2026, 12:46:32 I've been to 99 of the top 100 markets in the US - Sounder January 5, 2026, 12:48:07 « Back to index | View thread »
