Ask the Pilot

A filthy lobby, sullen-faced employees, no place to sit, and a vague sense of danger all add up to the World's Worst Airport.

    Filthy, sullen, dangerous?.. gotta be Detroit DTW

    Sure they added a mile long terminal for Northworst, named after a man whose level of corruption and cronyism would have made him feel right at home in Chicago or Africa. But if you're flying anything other than Northworst.. welcome to the third world right in the heartland of America.

    I pulled up to wait for a friend to arrive and a Wayne County sheriff deputy drove up and told me to move my car.. I responded that my pickup would be here shortly and the deputy popped the snap on his holster. I moved. this was pre 9-11. I suppose a $20 would have sent him on his way.

    Easily the worst airport in the 'civilized' world.
