So which was it?

It's going to be 121 degrees in Catfish Paradise today.

Both.  Might as well be named FAFO, New Mexico.

OK then.  I find smaller less crowded airports to be less stressful, by a lot.  San Diego's was nice.+

Hartsfield-Jackson named 2nd least stressful airport in the country (fox5atlanta.com)

I've stated it many times but I've always been a big fan of John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA.  Smaller, less crowded, pretty easy in and out.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (FOX 9) - The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) has been named the No. 1 airport in the United States, according to a new survey list.

The MSP airport saw nearly 35 million passengers in 2023, and was ranked among hundreds of survey participants for categories that included access, check-in and security, restaurants and bars, shopping, and design.


In 2023, MSP was ranked No. 4 in the survey.

MSP is the 19th busiest commercial airport in the U.S., the second-largest hub for Delta Air Lines, and the hometown base for Sun Country Airlines.

San Diego has a nice airport.  The rental car place is quite far from it though, and a bus ride.

Savannah has a nice airport, small of course, which helps.

Cincinnati's airport is "OK", much smaller than it once was pre2008.

We used to fly out of Dayton some.  It was cheaper, and if you stayed overnight at an airport motel, they'd let you park your car there for a week for free.

Louisville, same thing.

I've never flown into or out of JFK.  I think I've been to every major US airport, not Kansas City if that counts as one.  

West Jet is awful.

Cities on the list I've been to:

Charleston, SC - Kind of a weird inclusion to me, interesting historical city, some good food, very hot in summer (duh).  We'll go back sometime, but it's not a place either of us dream of going.

Barcelona - Yeah, one of our favorite cities in Europe, very walkable, nice beaches, good food, interesting sites.  Good.

Rome - Only there for a day, my wife wants to go back for several, I think it would be great too.

Seoul - I liked it a lot, my wife preferred Tokyo, massive city, we had some good food, stayed at a great hotel, not that much real history since the place was bombed out in the war.

Tokyo - Interesting, we had a great walking tour of 8 hours that was exhausting but interesting.  Massive city of course, the rail transit was confusing but our guide did it for us.  Also bombed out in 1945.  

Istanbul - Looks interesting "pn paper", we're going in September for 8 days.
