Years ago the seats were much better, and they actually gave you food.

Logan is a clusterfuck
Denver has a nice wrap place called Itza Wrap in the center of the B concourse. I like the Thai chicken wrap, get it with rice instead of noodles.
SeaTac is nice and Austin has live music. Kona is my favorite because it is just some huts next to the Tarmac and they wheel out the stairs.

The generators that were there were shipped across the ocean at one point
They are also still shipping diesel across the ocean to run them, the wind, our fuel, ships itself.

Logan is a clusterfuck
Friend of mine spent "too long" in a phone booth at Logan in about 2003...3 dudes with MP5s showed up and pointed them at his head, and he got the full workup.

I spend a brief period in Incheon airport in South Korea on the way back from Japan a few months ago. Gorgeous architecture and a string quartet playing in the terminal concourse. I was blown away. Actually wished I could have spent more time there.
There's only three airports I can think of that I will actively avoid:
- McCarran International, because I just don't like Vegas, and the city's airport is a microcosm of the whole experience
- Chicago O'Hare, because they have a real trouble with schedules there, and chances are, you will miss your connecting flight.
- Frankfurt Airport, because their regulations on maximum bag weight changes depending on the direction you're going. Up to 100lbs when you're going to Europe, but only up to 32kg on your way home. I've bought more bags in that airport than I care to remember.

WRT frankfurt - odd to hear. frankfurt is my fav airport in europe (non-stop hub wise). i will overshoot my destination, and double back to it just to fly through frankfurt. have never experienced the problem you describe, and i am a very heavy packer and usually take a mountain of shit with me (tons of shoes lol). the only thing that sucks about it is if you need to spend the night to catch an early flight, the sheraton there is a total fucking dive. heathrow is the one i avoid if at all possible. that airport sucks ass. fucking place is like a gerbil habitat. and the people who work there are the most unpleasant and unhelpful of anywhere i have ever flown.

I didn't care for Heathrow either. But it probably had more to do with arriving at 7am after leaving the east coast at 9pm. My employer always booked me on that same flight. Then my departure gate would suddenly change to the opposite side of the airport from where I'd be waiting.
Always nice babes to view though.

look uyp a company called Privatair. I flew them last year, they are a privately owned company operating my luthfansa flight, it was incredibly good food. all seats are business class, no coach (even tho I paid for coach). the fod is great, legitimately good food. nice planes, super clean and polished. bathrooms were good sized and everythjng looked super new. I was so impressed with the company I walked to the back and talked to one of the stewrads inquiring about this airline (i had never heard of it.) the guy sat down and spoke with me at legnth about the company.
I cant recomend an airlne more than Privatair. it was amazing

and also, all the female stewardess' were super hot and friendly swiss girls

I'm part of a video production team and we travel with a lot of gear. If you give us a weight limit we well fill a pelican case until its a pound or two short of it. Its the only issue with Frankfurt that I have - every other aspect about the airport is great. But that one detail is enough of a ball ache that I'd rather just avoid it in the future if I can.

got it. that falls quite a large margin outside of my normal travel experience with regard to what i'm hauling - which is exclusively me and my personal girly shit.

with regard to the sparse thing - have done that, and can do it again if need be. but given the choice, i bring everything i need, everything i *may* need, and quite a lot of fun shit that who knows if i will need it or not - but i want what i want if the mood strikes me.

I think most of you that think I don't have much reason to complain don't ever fly much yourselves. When you fly internationally several times a year, trust me, the little things matter a lot. Its a whole different animal from flying domestic. Anyways, I expected some ignorant responses from those who think they know it all, I feel sorry for you really.
I will bet you $1 you do not fly as much as I do. I have had a flight here and there that was unpleasant such as the flight that prompted this thread. For the most part my flights are pleasant. As far as recent travel is concerned I have checked into my Hotel in downtown Dresden ~2 hours ago. SFO to Chicago... complimentary upgrade to 1st class. Chicago to Frankfurt... complimentary upgrade to business class. Frankfurt to Dresden a small 3 row commuter jet. Each flight was reasonable. I had a polite and competent Steward for the Chicago flight, pleasant Stewardesses for the Chicago - Frankfurt - Dresden flights.
The suggestion you seem to ignore is that your behavior / attitude has as much of an influence on your trip as anyone else may. Be it 1" or 5' if you are in the isle you are likely to get hit as someone passes. Don't be in the isle, take a window seat. Is the airline industry the same today as it was in the 1960's? No, but neither are the passengers.

Yah, Frankfurt is great for travelers. An airport where you show up, hop on an elevator, go down three flights and you are in a train station with a train bound for Paris, or one flight less and a LRV bound for downtown Frankfurt, or a shuttle to Koblez. It's an amazing place.
Heathrow sucks donkey balls. I started flying through it decades ago and it was under construction. Every time I've flown through it since I had to walk miles through new construction.
