Best: Minneapolis Was very easy to get from gate to gate on people mover. Airport was modern, spacious, and airline employee's professional and friendly.
Worst: I have had mediocre experiences with countless others but I have never been in a horrible airport.
I hate LAX. I love LA, but I hate that damn airport--too many bad memories over changing planes in that place and having to actually go outside to get to another terminal and to the next gate and ending up in dismal wing of the airport devoid of anywhere decent to eat after waiting in another long security line. I also really dislike the Phoenix Airport from my trips there...
A lot of airports tend to be similar to me, from O'Hare to Dallas to Boston Logan to Washington Dulles, they're all okay as long as I can get to my gate on time and have time for a drink.
Portland's airport is actually pretty nice--there's never long security lines--and they have good food and shops--they only need more international flights. Denver's airport is nice, likewise Seattle, Minneapolis and Detroit actually are fairly nice--and I like Miami just because it's got decent Cuban food and it really feels like you can hop on a plane fly direct to anywhere in Latin America from there...
Pittsburgh may have one of the best setups for larger airports. It was builkt to be a hub but since US Air pulled out it is a bit a ghost town but a preety good layout
I really hated Miami's airport. Awful set up but the Cuban food is good.
I've always like San Diego's because it's so convenient and easy to get through, especially if you're using Terminal 2. I know it's small but the airport in Kona, HI is great because there are no jet ways so you exit from both ends of the plane so it's quick and the airport is completely open to the outside. There are no walls around the ticketing and baggage areas. Honolulu's is somewhat open like that too.

SFO is pretty decent too.
Oh yeah, forgot about the Kona Airport. The terminal looks like you're waiting a ride for for a ride in Adventureland at Disneyland. It's like the most proper welcome to Hawaii that you could have at an airport.
Yeah, the Miami airport is okay to change planes in, but I forgot about what a ***** it is to just get out of that airport or to the rental car area. San Diego is nice because you basically get to any gate in a few minutes because of the compact size. SFO is nicer since they redid it--though I always end up flying into Oakland or San Jose because of cheap flights from Portland.
