maybe not aesthetically, but the san jose airport offers a pretty good experience and has a good bar.

Talking about airport food, Reagan has a Five Guys, the primary reason why it could never be the worst airport.

San Jose is pretty fugly and low-tech...didn't visit the bar due to head-pounding hangover.

Columbus is sad, Philly is OK (neat kid's play area for those travelling with rugrats), DC (Dulles?) is crazy busy.

EDIT: Denver is actually quite beautiful if you step outside at sunset...

I've only been to Dulles once and it was pretty blah. Reagan was very quick and easy though...and I met Jim Lehrer there!

RER access would be great ... any American airport to Paris in minutes ... I'd go for that. Sure beats the heck out of an 11+ hour Air France flight.

But as for American airports ... if National is going to be called Regan ... I move that we change Dulles to Johnson, Carter, Clinton or Obama!

If I recall correctly, Dallas had a Brooks Brothers and a ton of good food.

San Jose has three terminals now. The original one is from the late '60s, early '70s. It is terrible. The second one is from the mid-'80s. It is OK, but too cramped. They have to use those line-up mazes everwhere because the building is essetially too narrow. The latest one was just completed and it is quite nice.

Oakland is a very bad airport.

I accidently sat next to George Schultz at Narita ... he looked up just long enough to say, "I really don't want to talk." I responded, "You're doing a good job of it given that you don't want to."

Don't fly very much, but I always like 'little' airports (2-3 gates). Montana's got a bunch. Portland, ME is not bad. Hate big ones. There's one in the SW (Albequerque?) where you have to do this major transfer to get to the rental cars - I imagine there are others are like it.

Newark > JFK. I've never had trouble getting into Manhattan from Newark. Always takes forever at JFK. Where are the nice terminals at JFK? Every one I've been in makes Kilimanjaro International look like a BA lounge. Who designed LAX and Logan btw? Did they actually know that an airport is supposed to move people rapidly through a given space? Expanding the topic a bit if we're talking North America in general I actually don't mind YVR (Vancouver) and YYZ (Toronto).

Traffic to JFK is just terrible. Newark is SO much better.
