    We (wife & baby) showed up & cleared TSA 1 1/2 hrs prior to departure. No body here! What a difference 30mins makes!

    Worst airport I've ever been in. The wifi is terrible, restaurants are terrible. I will avoid this airport at all cost.

    Very little past security. Why are all US airports seemingly designed by people who don’t use airports?

    Come early for your flight because traffic can be a nightmare. Don't come without food because the options are dreadful. Supershuttle is the worst way to leave the airport.

    Traffic is getting worse and worse. Took more than 20 minutes this evening to get from the start of the ‘horseshoe’ to Terminal 2 (departures level)

    Sweet old lady hangs out at the parking garage, asks for $20 because her car starter broke down. I gave her money and so did another guy I caught her talking to 3 hours later. Don't be next.

    Take the fly a way and arrive with time to relax before getting on your flight. TSA can stress you out....

    Never EVER fly with TACA Airlines. Absolutely worst customer service. 4 hour wait time to check in because their managers allowed a pushy family to delay the line 2 hrs so the family could get bargain
