mackerel_sky Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 lol. They are all great. I dont see where all the critism comes from.yeah, I know right! I guess people think they got away from weather when NBC took over! But I think they are getting a lot better with showing models that we all look at and explaining different scenarios. I bet 98% of people watched on a regular basis when they first came on the air, I know I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Welcome home...gotta love Hartsfield int. Longest taxi run ways in the us Thanks. Yeah we taxied for 20 minutes. I think we passed Stone Mountain twice. Now at RDU, home of the longest wait for checked bags in the entire history of the airline industry.

Now at RDU, home of the longest wait for checked bags in the entire history of the airline industry. It's weird. I flew JetBlue to out of RDU to NYC and back and the bags came out so quickly I was impressed. The flight was also like 55 minutes when it was supposed to be 1.5 hours. I'll never fly another airline, ever. Second time flying JetBlue to NYC also. Flew Southwest to Colorado, was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 On the rare times I check baggage (usually only international), Greensboro can take forever. In fact, last time was absolutely superb. Our flight on Lan Chile from Santiago was delayed there for 3+ hours, but we finally got on and go to Miami a few hours late (8-hour flight in the middle seat, though - shoot me). In the end, after a 14-hour all-night deal, we got to Greensboro only to find that because of space reasons, American had decided to leave our bags in Miami and wouldn't ship them until the next flight. Of course, the GSO employees didn't know what was going on and it took close to two hours to finally figure this out. GSO is such a shame. The airport was booming back in the 1980s and expanded rapidly, but it's a shell of its former self now as a result of the USAir/Piedmont merger in 1989 and often seems like a ghost town with empty spaces everywhere. It used to be a crew base for Piedmont and US Air (early on) and now it doesn't even have mainline service. To GSO's credit, Timco (aircraft maintenance)and the like have helped and the FedEx hub has helped to rejuvenate the airport, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew Jet Blue one time. It was awesome. I go out west a lot and there never seem to be good flight times for JB for me. I fly Delta mostly, with the occasional American, if I'm going direct to Dallas. Delta is good. American and Southwest are ok, and US Air is just awful. But regardless of the airline, I have never stood at the baggage caroselle at RDU for less than 20 minutes (and it's usually around 30 minutes).

Delta has been my go to for years though, but probably because once you hit a certain mileage it just makes sense and seems easier. Plus, they still run a direct to NYC from GSP and Charleston. American is so-so, and US Airways (particularly out of CLT) can eat it. Orlando has become my most loathed airport, followed closely by LAX, Denver, Dulles and Miami. Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Detroit (strangely enough) and Kansas City give me the least problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To GSO's credit, Timco (aircraft maintenance)and the like have helped and the FedEx hub has helped to rejuvenate the airport, as well. The only thing convenient about PTI is you can rent a car and park in the same general area, try that at RDU. For a while in the early 2000's it was cheaper to fly out of PTI than RDU as well. Which is nice since PTI is about 3 miles closer to my house. Oh. 20.3f outside. 21f at PTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDU (and CLT to some extent) has sucked the life out of GSO ... peeps would rather drive to RDU just to save $40, then pay $20 in gas, and $20 in parking, plus the ~1 hour drive lmao ... makes sense doesnt it ... btw there IS mainline service ... 9x daily to ATL on Delta, Allegiant to Orlando, St. Pete, and just announced new nonstops to Ft Lauderdale, Frontier Airlines to Orlando plus their new nonstops to Denver start in May fwiw ... while it may not be 1986 when Piedmont and Eastern flew big jets all over, today you can fly nonstop from Greensboro/High Point/Winston-Salem to ATL, CLT, FLL, SFB, PIE, MIA, DFW, ORD, CVG, LGA, EWR, DCA, IAD, DTW, PHL, IAD, EWR & DEN ... all in all not too shabby when u have an RDU and a CLT within 90 miles each direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Detroit (strangely enough) and Kansas City give me the least problems. I've been to just about every major city in the US and my least favorite airports are Philly, Oakland, LAX, and DFW (although it's much better since the put in the high speed rail system (they used to have this little tram that would just stop on the tracks for no reason -- it was the slowest transport between terminals ever)). I like Denver, Memphis, MSP, and Sea-Tac. I've been to the others you mentioned, but it's been a while and I don't have much memory of them.
