from a connection hub I guess you could do worse than Midway. I just hate it when they route it through some smaller airport with limited connections... then if you miss, you're fucked.

Worst one I had was LGA... I think southwest has 5 gates there, so you can imagine the limited options when I missed my connection.

La Guardia is a shit hole. Been there once, hope I never have to go back.

Can't remember if it was United or Continental who did us raw on that flight. We were supposed to fly direct to Wilmington, NC, from Newark. After we all boarded the plane, they cancelled the flight due to a lack of tickets sold, and we had to run from the plane to a plane going to LGA, and then to Wilmington. Our bags, naturally, didn't make it, so we had to spend the first day in Wilmington in our travel clothes. At least the bags made it to the hotel by the time we got back from the bar, and we didn't have to go buy clothes for the wedding.

I took a quick trip to Minot, ND last weekend. The gates aren't even open all day....they bring workers in and out as the limited number of flights come in and out. Hell, I checked in and had to stand behind a locked gate and wait for the TSA agents to get there. Planned to eat lunch at the restaurant there because I had weird timing of the flight. The goddamn restaurant decided to stay closed, so I had to wait at the airport and then make the flight back before I could anything other than a small package of Goldfish crackers on the flight.

Pissening.

Didn't you do this same thing a week or two ago?

Probably, but it's about a 9-hour drive (plus stops, because tWife was in tow). Direct flight was like 90 minutes. Even with the hiccup, we were still able to get into town, get checked in, and do dinner and then drinks with my friends. 8 hours is about the limit I have for one-way driving.
