MIA. Worst airport ever.

Agree. When visiting, I’d fantasized it being improved by a squadron of B52s carpet bombing the place. It calmed me down when using the airport. People asked me why i was smiling.

The Newark airport People Express terminal in the late 70s, early 80s was a nightmare.

The ceiling was maybe 9 feet high. People Express used to run a 747 on short haul flights to Boston and DC. That terminal was not built to handle airplanes that had over 300 passengers. At Christmas and Thanksgivings it was particularly bad, hot, stuffy, very crowded.

But it was cheap.

That terminal and People Express airlines did last very long. The new terminal came in, I think, the early 80s.

I forgot about People’s Express. They weren’t around for long.

By the way, MIA is a dream compared to IAD.

[jon-nyc]

Indeed. It’s big and you do some walking and all but it doesn’t bring you back to 1975.

I once spent the first night of my British family vacation sleeping on the floor in JFK. And it wasn't the floor once you get through security, it was the floor of the public bit prior to that, filled with 'interesting' people. To make things even better, I had to spend the entire next day there waiting for my 9pm flight, unwashed and unloved. By the time I got to Paris, I was so jetlagged and exhausted that I inadvertently cleaned my teeth with the handsoap in the bathroom. I actually thought there were toothpaste machines in the men's room. I'm still not sure why.
