Gimme Free Wi-Fi, Decent Food, And A Comfortable Seat And I'm Good
-
It's a little late for Sandy, but here's a study of the best and worst airports in which to be stranded. Frequent travelers can guess that the best are the ones that are, essentially, shopping malls with gates: Pittsburgh and Milwaukee, along with Dallas-Fort Worth, which I have spent a lot of time in and which isn't THAT great. Worst? JFK, Dulles, and Atlanta. JFK depends on your terminal, I'd say, and Dulles isn't that bad (they have Five Guys!). Atlanta is just too damn big and busy and the food choices are below par for a major hub. I would add Philly (small, not a lot of food choices, although they have Chickie's and Pete's for crab fries), Fort Lauderdale (huge, not nearly enough food choices), and LAX (my home airport, and ugh) to the bad list and Minneapolis-St. Paul (lots of good eats, though why no free Wi-Fi?) and Newark (aside from TSA trouble, it gets a bad rap) to the good list.
