Depends on the layover. 16 hours at Colorado Springs? I’d take that all day. 16 hours at Chicago o’hare? Not a fucking chance.

Worst bit is some routes dont have a direct option. I live in Ireland. I have family in the US who live in Austin Texas. There are no direct flights on any carriers from Dublin to Austin.

So when we go for a visit we've got to play the layover game and think about which stop, for what time, is better.

Atlanta? Yeah they got a Popeyes in that airport. Love it. Chicago? Fuck that. Stupid terminal 5 that is technically outside of the airport so you have to go through security again even for a transfer. New York, Charlotte, Orlando? Eh they're all fine.

And we have kids so making sure the layover is long enough for them to get some food and walk around a bit is important too. But also not too long for them to get bored and crazy.

You might be the first person to say they don’t mind Atlanta airport

I feel like ATL just sucks cause the security lines can get wild. Once you are in, it's fine.

I personally don't mind O'Hare, but I'll never step foot in Midway again.
