I have written before about how some airport designs are superior to others.\u00a0 I favor the newer designs where all gates are accessible from each other without having to leave security. The worst of the worst actually require you to not only leave security, but to take some kind of shuttle bus to another terminal.\u00a0 At that point, it is almost as bad as changing airports all together.<\/p>\n

LAX Is Not A Favorite Of People From San Francisco<\/strong><\/p>\n

I came across this post, “Top 5 Reasons To Demolish LAX”<\/a> in the San Francisco Chronicle.\u00a0 I am sure a lot of the sentiment here can be attributed to the NorCal\/SoCal rivalry that has nothing to do with airports.\u00a0 At the same time, I can totally envision all of the LAX horror stories that they describe.\u00a0 Certainly the unhelpful staff is something that seems to afflict large airports around the world.<\/p>\n

While I have been through LAX a few times, I have never had to change planes there.\u00a0 I am waiting for a good reason to visit Asia before I have that privilege.\u00a0 Most of the authors comments are centered on the experience of changing planes there.\u00a0 The airport does seem somewhat adequate for local traffic.<\/p>\n

At the same time, whenever someone asks me about booking\u00a0 a flight to “Los Angeles”, I immediately ask them to specify where in the Southern California area they are trying to get to after they land. When consider LA’ s legendary traffic, it is always wise to investigate one of the four other commercially served airports within 50 miles of LAX.<\/p>\n

With the continued growth of point to point service, there are going to be fewer instances where people are forced to connect at a particular airport to get to their destination.\u00a0 While there will always be a need for connecting flights, we are seeing a greater number of choices of airports where people can chose to connect. Price and schedule will be a factor in any plans, you definitely want to consider the facilities of the airport you are connecting through.<\/p>\n

That said, I am sure a bunch of Southern California travelers could write an equally compelling post about why SFO should dumped in the bay.\u00a0 I am sure the word “Fog” would figure prominently in such a parallel diatribe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
