It's been close to 4 years since I've been on a plane and after 42 years and 39 countries, I have never seen an airport this jam packed. I heard after COVID it was even WORSE.
I'm sitting here surrounded by about 5000 people with no seats, no room at the bar, people tripping over each other and just a loud mess. Of course everyone rushing the gate to get on first.
I was there the day after the AFC championship game. Thankfully I didn't get off the plane, but the flight crew that got on was the rudest I've ever dealt with. [Reply]
I was there Labor Day weekend a couple years ago and it seemed like all of Phoenix was there, yet they were crazy efficient getting people through security and what not... it was pretty impressive.
I'm going to be the LAST motherfucker on this flight and slow walk down the aisle so everyone can look at me with contempt and say to themselves, "This guy caused us to be 2 minutes late to depart!"
As I walk down the aisle I'll swing my carry on side to side and smack a few bitches and then say "Oh I'm very sorry."
I might even pull a Karen and bitch that I have no space in the overhead bin for my small carryon. :-) [Reply]

I’ve only been in about as many airports as I’ve got fingers, but I can’t complain too much about any of them. My main objective was to get out of there as soon as possible. And the workers there I come in contact with have the same goal.
Been to a lot of airports both huge and one terminal tiny. Best experiences have been KIX and IAH except international arrival pick ups at IAH is a mess right now due to construction. [Reply]
I was traveling from Atlanta’s airport the Friday before July 4th week… when the world’s busiest airport set their single day record for most passengers traveling.
Without TSA Pre-Check and a First Class ticket, I’d probably still be waiting in the security line. [Reply]
Ill never get why people rush to get on a plane, your seat is waiting for you. Or take their sweet ass time getting off the plane.
We came back from Mexico yesterday and came through Dallas and had about 75 minutes to get through customs to make our connecting flight. People were taking their sweet ass time getting their carry ons out of the overheads. I was getting pissed off. Thankfully we made it with about 10 minutes to spare because customs was on point like I've never seen before. [Reply]

Southwest... no assigned seats and everyone lines up nicely to wait their turn.
Every other airline.. assigned seats and mass chaos to be the first to board so you can sit in your uncomfortable seat the longest and have to get up a time or two to let people in the row.
No idea why other airlines haven't adopted a form of Southwest's organization, even if they kept the assigned seating... if for no other reason than early boarders not having to shove their way through people. [Reply]
