what is going on everyone who likes to travel I know I do
I went on 17 trips this year for more than three days each time sometimes by
car a few times by train and most often like most people by plane there's almost
90,000 flights on an average day in the u.s. at air traffic Staley peak there's
over 5,000 planes in the air over the u.s. it's a lot of planes that can be
landing or taking off for mobiles 20,000 private and public airports in the US
just under 3 million people take off and land in the United States each year a
majority of those three million people hate the whole experience buying tickets
going to the airport getting through the airport getting on the plane getting off
the plane getting to drink at your destination finding out that your bags
are in Atlanta and you're in New York it's never a good time half the time the
average person promises they will never fly again 90 percent of them break that
promise a couple months later for one reason or another hands down the worst
part of the whole experience is the airport most of the time they're big and
they're confusing they're like little cities some of the major airports you
would think were designed by person that is clinically insane they are the worst
and that's what today's list is all about the bad ones so sit back put on
your neck pillow and watch my top 10 worst airports in the US number 10 MCI
Kansas City Kansas City International Airport is about 15 miles from downtown
and is one of the worst airports in the country the whole layout is very odd in
all of the good places to eat or get some coffee or on the wrong side of the
security which doesn't really help anyone you see all the checked-in
passengers buying a lunch at a gift shop and that's not right I've been to MCI
three or four times lost my bags twice when I left MCI they ended up someplace
else didn't get on the flight with me never understand that on top of that I
remember the road going into the airport being in bad shape like they were doing
construction but there was no construction going on yeah that one kind
of sucked on top of it they're getting right do this big expansion for it
because it was built in like 1971 and all the airlines are protesting at the
price of the remodel it's weird it's not a fun Airport to go to
number nine msy New Orleans Louis Armstrong New Orleans International
Airport serves about 12 million passengers annually the main complaint
from the passengers are that the restrooms and overall cleanliness of the
place sucks either the custodial staff doesn't care to do their jobs properly
or they're understaffed whatever what kills me about this one is that it's the
biggest complaint it's been the biggest complaint for years and it's a
relatively easy fix retrain hire more or fire all the
employees and start from scratch if they have a contract with an outside company
they're not living up to their contract unless in their contract someplace that
says leave the place relatively filthy now I've been through this Airport a few
times most recently in 2016 and I remember the whole place kind of look
and run down not just the restrooms and it's too bad that this place is named
after such a talented man and it just it just sucks number 8 be OS
Boston Logan International Airport is located in East Boston and has about 40
million passengers annually parking is absolutely horrible it's actually a joke
if at all possible it is recommended that you take an uber or a lift to the
airport don't park their spots on the first couple levels are always fool has
to be expected however the parking garages don't have elevators so when
you're parked a couple floors up you're lugging all your stuff downstairs I
still have a hard time believing that one the first time I went I thought that
it was just we weren't around the elevators where we parked so we just
went down a couple flights of stairs the second time I asked the friend who drove
me both times actually where the elevators were and he said they won't
give us elevators because we're Irish I still don't know what he meant by that I
mean he is a comedian so he could have been joking I don't know but anyway if
you don't know this Airport entering out of the tunnel is a bit confusing also
it's been about eight years since I've been through Logan and I've heard it's
gotten better but it still kind of sucks according to the locals
number seven oh Rd Chicago the Chicago O'Hare International Airport was opened
in 1944 and today sees about 80 million customers annually the main complaint is
about the TSA agents many complain they racially profiled passengers and are
just plain rude which never makes for a fun experience
or a good reputation I was there in October the problem with this one is
it's just too damn big they're constantly doing remodeling and it can
get confusing for people that aren't familiar with O'Hare especially when
you're trying to leave if you're trying to grab a bus a taxi or a train that
whole thing gets confusing everyone stares at these machines they have that
sell tickets it with total confusion nobody gets them it was really weird I
watched this for about 20 minutes actually step back and kind of watched
how people connected with these because I'm computer literate I know how to work
a machine I was having a really hard time I didn't understand it at all
whoever made these machines they need to be fired
number six phl Philadelphia Philadelphia International Airport sees about 30
million visitors annually so here's the deal you have a job you work in the
climate-controlled workspace it's a fast-paced job which of course makes the
day go by faster your pay is decent you'd expect a TSA agent to be a little
bit Pleasant and professional not in Philadelphia many passengers complained
that the agents are often very rude and unprofessional I was in Philadelphia in
June there right they are rude and they are very unprofessional the last time I
flew into this airport prior to June was about 20 years ago and I remember
nothing about it after my experience in June I think I may have been blocking
some things out the whole place feels outdated it's confusing and all the
restaurants and stores and all that stuff way overcrowded this in my opinion
is the worst airport that I've been to in the u.s. number five ewr Newark New
Jersey do yourself a favor and never have a
delay in Newark Liberty Airport for any longer than maybe an hour the lines here
are rific ly long for everything check in bathroom security coffee
anything you want you re waiting in line you should also expect to have to stand
the entire time because they don't have any seats it seems like no available
power outlets no free Wi-Fi it's like in 1970s Airport when it comes to
technology this place is devoid of all innovation
and customer service the best thing to do this airport is to mow it down grow a
forest then set the forest on fire so that that way when people look at this
place although remembers the forest fire not the airport it's typical place in
New Jersey though number 3 LG a New York LaGuardia Airport is one of the three
main airports in New York and sees about 28 million passengers a year this is the
airport you go to when you need to get a plane that same day and all the other
flights and all the other airports are completely booked visitors often
complain that it's very dirty the food options are horrible and there's often
leaks in the roof and holes in the carpet it's so bad that our past Vice
President Joe Biden referred to it as a third world country back in 2014 watch
any sitcom or TV drama about New York and you will eventually see jokes or
comments about how bad LaGuardia is I've never been to this Airport so I asked a
New York friend if it's as bad as its reputation he said no it's much worse he
said that every time he goes little Warda he feels like he went to a
business that's closing down like they filed for bankruptcy and it only has a
few days left till they close forever and stop typing I can comment if I
haven't been there it's called reading and researching as a matter of fact I
did just comment without being there I get that all the time okay if you've
never lived there how come you say that how can you can't say anything you've
never lived there oh really if you've never experienced anything you can't say
anything about is that what the mentality is here how are we getting
books about the Revolution or the Civil War or historical things like that those
writers and movie makers and never were in the Civil War or the Revolutionary
War how's that happening it's called research stop typing
number two LAX Los Angeles the Los Angeles International Airport sees
roughly 85 million travelers a year and that's their problem if you break that
down that's about 230,000 people going through that Airport every single day a
lot of people for one Airport lax is way too crowded never expect your experience
here to be a quick experience even if you're just picking up a friend LAX has
a thing where it almost seems like it's an all-day affair every single time I
grew up in LA and flew in and out of LAX too many times to count and it sucks I
know the place really well and it still sucks you think I could get in and out
now it's almost impossible the thing I do like about LAX is the horseshoe
design it works I I'm sorry it works if you don't have a quarter of a million
people going through it every single day if this place was designed like some of
the other airports in this country it would be shut down because of safety
issues this place has got a great design but like I said just too many people too
many people if at all possible go to Long Beach Airport and number one
JFK New York John F Kennedy International Airport was opened in 1943
and now sees 57 million passengers annually JFK was built with the idea
that every airline needed their own terminal the problem is that worked in
the 1940s that doesn't work here or now today JFK has terminals one through
eight two of which have been demolished in the past five years because of the
poor design of this Airport it could take passengers up to an hour maybe even
an hour and a half to travel between terminals and stop typing we are talking
about the average person visiting JFK not some dude that works there knows how
to get between the terminals in 30 minutes
stop so obviously the biggest problem with JFK is the design and it would seem
to be too expensive of an undertaking to fix it they should probably make one of
those artificial islands and make a new JFK entirely and close the old one down
I'm all for keeping old buildings they have history they tell our story when it
comes to an airport that's design is causing such major issues it needs to be
dealt with I like New York I despise this Airport
all right so that's my top 10 worst airports in the United States hope you
