Our Favorite & Least Favorite Airports

Main summary

Key takeaways

Lifestyle

Travel tip: Choose airports that reduce hassle

Favorite type: regional airports

  • Look for free parking (a big cost saver vs. major-city airports like Chicago).

Like “mid-major” hub airports

  • Example mentioned: Indianapolis
  • Expect shorter security lines and faster processing (sometimes even faster than TSA PreCheck, per their experience).

Also like Atlanta (ATL)

  • Preferred because it often has fewer weather/delay problems compared with routing through places that are more affected by delays.

Airports to avoid (least favorites)

Charles de Gaulle (Paris) — passport control

  • Long lines when moving between Schengen and non-Schengen.
  • Even if terminals are fine, getting around the airport is frustrating.

JFK (New York)

  • Described as annoying to get around / needs “TLC.”

O’Hare (Chicago)

  • Personal dislike based on sleeping there many nights over the years.

Lifestyle/travel balance tip: mix small towns and big cities

They prefer alternating:

  • Big city: Amsterdam (brief stay)
  • Smaller town: Utrecht (more local culture, less tourist-heavy)

Example planning suggestion

If visiting Paris, also include smaller-town regions such as:

  • Loire Valley (plus places like Tours)
  • Normandy

Call for travel ideas (for future trips)
