Chicago O'hare was surprisingly navigatable. Houston's is nice and clean. JFK and Newark are nightmares.
If you think those two are nightmares. Fly out of MIA. Worse traffic in the nation. Worse major airport in the United States of America. Word of advice, skip it and fly to FLL.

You have not been to MIA in a few years have you? And worst traffic?? Since when?
FLL is a mess these days. MIA for someone arriving or leaving from MIA is the best choice. Because so many people using MIA are connecting from International flights that naturally makes it an unenjoyable experience due to US laws.

I was there last winter and did not enjoy MIA at all. Besides La Guardia I have never seen a more confusing airport. I was always unsure where to go and many employees there did not speak English and were unable to help me.
I prefer Houstons IAH, at least I did when Continental dominated it before the United merger and corporate move to Chicago. DFW is good if you arent connecting through it, its a great airport to originate or arrive,
My fav airports are international ones, Singapore's airport and Narita outside Tokyo.
The east coast airports in major cities suck, too much traffic for its size and delays. Dulles is probably my least favorite in the US. Reagan isnt too bad for east coast. Miami isnt a good place to arrive in the USA from outside the country, not designed for the current security standards and customer service sucks.
I must have flown into a different terminal because what I saw in Singapore was crap. I have only connected through Narita and it too was crap.
On the other hand, Hong Kong has an awesome airport.

I will say I think DCA is the best airport in the country by far.
I flew in and out of MIA in SEpt and OCT and noticed a huge difference from previous visits. But then again, Sept-Oct isn't peak, so I dunno if that made it more bearable
Love the terminal upgrades though, and the experience for the most part was a good one. Much better than in the past.
I still don't like ATL's airport and like someone else mentioned, DFW is a pain for transferring airlines.

Huge upgrades, I think it really depends on why one is flying through Miami. If they are coming from an international city to connect onto another flight it can suck clearing customs then re-checking bags etc.. But if you are going into or out of Miami or doing Domestic-Domestic or Domestic-International IMO MIA is one of the best hub airports in the country.
DTW is the best IMO I find ATL very hectic and a little bit confusing but after a few times its fairly easy. I do not have to connect much so besides for DTW and ATL I can't think of any others in the US. CVG was great when it used to be a large Delta hub.

Miami has made great improvements over the past decade, but some parts of the airport are still small and crowded. When finished, MIA should be a jewel.

Considering how much they had paid, it better look nice.
Any city that has an airline hub in general will have nice airports.
I think Delta's terminal in Detroit, MSP and LAX are great airports.
The rental car situation at major airports has been changing over the years. 20 years ago, most airports had rentals on the airport property. Sea-Tac still does, but like many other major airports, a new airport rental facility has been constructed and will open soon. This will slow down rental car users, as it has at other major airports, but atleast all of the operations will operate out of one facility, which looks like a small airport in itself. Not sure but I think LAX and O'Hare still depend on off-site facilities in random areas. Not sure about ATL and DFW.
