 I lived in Atlanta for the majority of my adult life so I rarely ever had connecting flights. Now living in Hawaii, I connect through LAX often and can’t fathom how a major airport could suck this bad. Is there any airport in the US that’s worse than LAX?

 Chicago 
 Just cam from Chicago and it’s not even close. You need to get on an effing bus to go to another terminal or to get your Uber. It’s mind boggling. 
 I thought I was the only one. Lax makes no sense 
 well I guess your story rules out the Atlanta one 😂 been through there a bit and it's just very busy but I guess their processes are alright 
 Atlanta is busy and TSA lines can be a nightmare but at least there is a train and you can travel between terminals without going through security again. LAX is ridiculously inefficient and not pedestrian friendly. 
 Philadelphia is the worst in the United States of America, IMO! 
 Oooh that’s one I have never flown through. What makes it horrible? 
 Don't think so 
 All of them, honestly. The state of air travel in America has descended into what it was in the Third-World years ago. I stopped flying a couple years after 9/11. The humiliation ritual enacted on Americans was so obvious. Conversely, road-tripping is so empowering! 
 Yeah, it’s now Greyhound bus travel in the US. I am often shocked how much nicer foreign airports and carriers are
