I’m a country kid, living in the city and I like to go new places and experience new things. I’ve been to 5 countries outside of the US and would love for this list to grow. Today’s list will focus on my top 7 favorite US airports. When compiling this list I took into account the 16 American Airports that I’ve flown in and out of. And the list primarily centers around how helpful and or personable the staff of each airport was when I flew through each location. Another thing is that I flew through most of these airports accompanied by my guide dogs and it is important to menchin that people have been great with each of them.
1. Charlotte: I only flew through once but, it was a red eye from California and as I walked through the concourse with a US Air staff member, I guess that I looked tired. He asked me if I’d like to stop at Star Bucks for a cup of coffee. This was such a nice gesture that I still tell this story five years later.
2. Detroit: I have flown through this airport on a number of occasions and each time the staff of both the airport and North West Airlines have been amazing. One flight attendant actually went off to grab me dinner before ending her day. I always meant to write North West about how great she was on that flight from Dayton to Detroit.
3. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky: I also flew through this airport a number of times and each time it was even a pleasure to go through security. The staff was always courteous and helpful.
4. San Diego: This airport was also friendly personable and for some reason, my lab, Randall was always treated like a celebrity by the staff of US Air. At one time a flight attendant told me that she was sad that we would not be on her flight to Houston.
5. LaGuardia: New Yorkers get a bad rap. This is one of the most fantastic airport’s in the country. The staff is always busy however they are always willing to go that extra step. I’ve never had a bad thing to say about them.
6. Boston: I had the best security experience of my flying life at this airport, although I was patted down and my dog was searched, the staff was very well trained, friendly, and thoughtful. They proved the sentiment that it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
7. Pittsburgh: I had one bad time with security and am always “randomly” selected to be searched, but apart from this, this is the airport that I’ve used the most and if you fly enough it is inevitable that you will experience some hassle. Most of the people are great and it is one of the two airports where one of the staff members have hugged me. I do not know what it is that makes me huggable but, there you go…
The other airports that I have experience with from best to worst are: Erie, Los Vegas, La, Atlanta, Baltimore, O’Hare, JFK, Cleveland, and Dayton.
