Top ten Worse Airport in the United State (bbc Magazine)

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35011943By BBC Magazine

1. Miami. Took three hours to get into the place after landing - we queued in front of empty passport control desks, no nearby toilets or seating and no information - and two weeks later a further three hours to get out again. A handful of toilets for hundreds of women, very limited and uncomfortable seating, horrible food with one outlet serving it, and the cockroaches scampering across our feet were the final delight. I have never been back to the States since. Geraldine Blake, Worthing, UK

2. Los Angeles (LAX) is old and dilapidated, badly laid out, dangerous (transit buses cross runways), dirty and neglected. Overseas "visitors" are treated with disdain and herded like cattle, and generally, the concept of "customer service" is completely lacking. If one looks at an old movie from, say, the early 70s, the airport hasn't changed since then. It should be pulled down and rebuilt. Michael Purtell, Launceston, Australia
3.Houston airport. I'm a repeat visitor and I've never had anything less than at least a two-hour wait to get through immigration after a 10-hour flight - quite simply awful, awful, awful. Rude, officious staff and a truly miserable experience. If I didn't have to go for work I'd happily never bother to visit the US ever again. Jamie Robinson, Crawley Down
4.Chicago O'Hare is so bad in my experience that I refuse to fly into it any more. I have never spent less than three hours on my feet at Chicago. John, Liss, UK
5. I found the moon buggy experience between terminals at Washington's Dulles very unsettling. Passengers are herded into these buggies without any idea of what they are. The funnels give the appearance of chimneys. Expecting the usual ''shuttle" I was alarmed to find myself crammed into a room with other passengers, with no apparent exit. Deborah Allsop, Horsham, UK

6. It's no less than tragic that so many visitors from other countries are "welcomed" to the US at JFK. It is an abomination and a stain on President Kennedy's memory. James McDonald, West Hollywood
7. Orlando. It took three hours to get through immigration. First question was: "What are you doing here? Where are you stopping?"
"Disney."
"Prove it." Barnsley, UK

8. BOS (Logan International Airport, Boston) is a joke. Yes they do an admirable job clearing the snow all winter, but the four terminals are not integrated together, there are not enough gates and the immigration lines are terrible. It took us more than four hours to clear the airport this summer, and that was travelling with three small kids. We touched down early but there was no gate available so we waited 40 minutes on the taxiway. Tessa Murray, Quincy, MA
9. My least favourite airport is definitely LaGuardia. I was just there on 22 November and as soon as I arrived (two hours before my flight) I was told my flight had been delayed two hours. There was a cafeteria on the level below but after sitting down there for 30 minutes I had to leave as it was more akin to a weird bus terminal with the less than desirable food options and relatively dirty atmosphere. Once I finally made it through security (the line was agonizingly long) I still had to wait an hour-and-a-half at the gate - problem was, there was nowhere to sit, people everywhere, no food options other than a small news-stand. Did I mention the giant cracks in the cement floor, the tiles missing from the ceiling and the giant air vent making crazy noise in the middle of the terminal? It was hellish. My good friend flew out of LaGuardia the same day and her gate was changed four times before she finally left. Kate D, Pittsburgh
10.Denver Airport is huge, confusing, and intimidating to someone who hasn't learned how to navigate it. I will drive for days to get somewhere rather than put myself through the agony of the airport. Janet Switzer, Beulah, Colorado
