Have done an enormous amount of travel for business in the US and can't argue with most observations in here about airports. I'm a United Million miler and have had status on United most of my business life. United goes through cycles of quality and el cheapo that just grinds on one after a while. United is in el cheapo mode again now and that makes traveling suck.
That said, here are my nominees for best and worst airports in the land:
Best:
Orlando McCoy -- This one is easy, so long as you have TSA pre-check. Only downside to MCO is the multi-hour wait for security if you don't have TSA pre. Airport is roomy, well laid out and easy to access. A bit of a parking headache at the holidays but otherwise incredibly well done.
MCO is the worst airport in the US.
Precheck…I mean no airport has longer lines, it’s comically slow.
Try getting a meal there, good luck.
That place can not deal with the mix of convention visitors and the once a year tourist family. If you’re a Group 1 or Group 2 UA flyer, it’s a maze due to a lack of space.
MCO flat out sucks, burn it down.
