Survey Says These Are The Worst U.S. Airports


Website maxim.com lists the ten: Luis Muñoz Marín Puerto Rico, Houston Hobby, Cleveland Hopkins, Armstrong New Orleans, Laguardia NYC, SW Florida Ft. Myers, Detroit Wayne County, Ft. Lauderdale FL, Orlando FL and Chicago Midway.

Reasons for the negative votes are familiar. Lack of cleanliness, long lines, employee incompetence, inefficient facilities, few restaurants, overpriced shops and much more. Internet criticism listings are unlimited on the subject, depending on many factors. Of course, a senior traveler may have a bad experience at the best airport, as well as a satisfying one at the worst.

It all depends on weather, traffic, security and, of course, having a lucky or unlucky day. However, the bottom line is that most of us don’t have much choice in airports. We can’t fly from the best ones if they’re hundreds or thousands of miles away. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, we usually must fly in and out of our hometown field. So, have a safe, satisfying next flight!

Q&A: How To Find Reasonable Show Tix In Las Vegas PDF Print E-mail


Q: We’re celebrating my retirement with a week in Las Vegas. We’re New Yorkers and are accustomed to high-priced hotels there, but happily even the most luxurious hotel rooms in Vegas are great bargains.

However, when we wanted to book entertainment, ticket prices were ridiculously high. They’re as expensive as Broadway, most priced at $100 or more. When buying show tickets in New York, we look for the “twofer” booths for half-price tickets. Are there such places in Vegas? Fran, Astoria LI NY

A: The smart visitor never pays retail price quotes for Vegas show tickets. Here’s how you can do it. First, when you check in at your hotel, ask about discount tickets for that night. They are usually available to guests, sometimes for free. And, yes, there are also twofer ticket booths at various locations in Vegas, as well as websites tix4tonight.com and BestofVegas.com
