Or is it the Subury Goji Berry Goldendoodles?

Or the Sudbury Nectarine Neapolitan Mastiffs?

My wife was in line with Jared Keeso at the grocery store , I tried to get her to say “ **** you Shoresy” but she chickened out . A lot of local kids stand in for some of the actors , the goalie anyways .

Do people just not read anymore? It's in the article. MCI barely qualifies as a large airport based on the metrics in the article.

Not that CP is reddit, but I saw a study sometime in the past week or so that suggested that around 3/4ths of people vote on a post before they read the article.

Of course, I didn't read the article, so that could all be BS. :D

Well… um … no. But they have to get their emotional opinions out there somehow.

Wait. Among megas....

and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (633) ranks third.
Based on what I've read here on CP, no way is PHX third.

CP is very much not real life.

Harbor is ok. Restaurant scene is weak and the airport is way too spaced out.

I mean, seriously, who is actually expecting to have a good time at the airport? Even if it's fully staffed and operating at 100% efficiency, you've still got to deal with the plethora of narcissistic douche ****s that have no regard for what anyone else is doing and freak out at the smallest of inconveniences to them (and due to the nature of how Airlines conduct business, there's going to be a ton of those).

I bet Detroit ranks that high just because half of the survey takers are thrilled to be leaving Detroit.

I love Sky Harbor. I've never had to deal with crazy traffic getting in our out of the airport (I-10 is a different story) and they always seem to get people through the lines quickly.... I've seen security lines backed up quite a bit and it's still only like a 5 minute wait, even on holiday weekends. They know how to move people through.

Restaurants aren't great.... most are practically fast food from what I've seen, but can at least enjoy a beer or drink beforehand.

It's a good sized airport, but they have people movers between terminals.

My only minor gripe would be it's a bit of a maze to get out of from arrivals... but, I've only done it a couple times and tend to forget how the hell I got out the last time, so I end up doing an extra lap or so. LMAO

I've been here 2 years and have just now gotten to where I don't need navigation getting out of there haha

But yeah Sky Harbor is super easy imo

Only complaints would be the rental car facility is like a 20 minute shuttle ride, but that doesn't impact me anymore. The other would be the economy parking fills up regularly (figured out you can book in advance) and the daily parking garage has those death spiral exits which were obviously built before cars got huge. Its seriously a leap of faith navigating down those things

Chuckled when I saw the 670 high scores are out of 1000.

I've always used Parking Spot, which just requires an extra ~10 minute ride from one of their 3 lots... I think it's like $8/day.

Well, me, but I know I'm a weird one. I think the logistics of the aviation industry are fascinating, and it's fun to see all of the destinations and (if you're at a well-connected airport) the exotic airlines and liveries. I've even considered trying to find a job in the industry someday, but my job role is pretty niche, so not sure I'd ever be able to find a good opportunity.

Lounges also help to get out of the chaos a bit, but obviously not every airport has a good option, and even lounges can get overly crowded sometimes.
