Denver is still my least favorite to get around, though. Confusing AF, no signs to direct you where to check in.

Ive been in like 10 airports in the last 2 months and there isnt even a close second for Orlando and its suckiness.

Hour and a half in security yesterday because they had TWO body scanners going. Meanwhile they had multiple dipshits just telling people to not bring water through security or whether this time they'd want us to take laptops out or not,

In other airports they actually help people get their shit on the belt and speed the line along...literally fuck every person who works there, from the Outback restaurant to security. They can all eat a dick.

I havent been there since i was a teen so i dont remember that one well, obviously Atlanta sucks for being so damn busy. Charlotte is one that i remember being pretty poor also.

Dallas gets a lot of bad ratings but ive not had a bad experience

The cost of TSA pre-screen is fully justified after just one flight out of Orlando.

TSA lines have been longer than regular the last few times I have flown...it's annoying.

now global entry, that's a whole different story

I've seen the pre screen line almost as long as the "regular" line.. what's the "benefit" of this? A slightly shorter line and you are forced to pay a monthly fee? If that's all it is ill just get to airport a little earlier and beat the line

It's been a while since I've been through Charlotte. I remember it being small and being annoyed (possibly due to renovations or something) that nothing in the terminal we were at was open and if we needed to get food or something we'd have to leave the secure area and go back through security to catch our flight.

Denver had signs directing you to TSA, but nothing for where to actually check in with your airline and drop off your bags. And the check in stations are a floor above the TSA queues, so it's not like they are right next to each other or even logically placed with the check in stations first.

Atlanta is big, but at least you can find your way around it (past security, anyway, I've only been through Atlanta, never boarded a flight going through security).

Don't know what to tell you. TSA pre lines are typically significantly shorter that the regular line when I travel. And there's not monthly fee - it's like $80 for five years.

If you don't fly a lot, I suppose there wouldn't be much benefit to it, but it's absolutely worth it for me.

Obviously being here in Cincy i always start there and its always cake. Granted youre talking 40th busiest airport versus like 7th in Orlando

But to me the issue is Cincy has maybe 3 people checking IDs and all their staff are screening the bags whereas Orlando has like 12 people checking IDs and they filter everyone through those 12 lines down to 3 or 4 lines for screening.

Flip that shit a little and the lines probably move a lot faster because the ID line constantly stops because security isnt moving fast enough

Yeah I rarely fly.

In fact I flew last year but probably was 10 years prior to that.

I will be flying in May however
