I have never had an unpleasant experience with the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The place is easy to navigate. Most of the TSA workers are friendly and helpful (a major plus for traveling parents - one helped me to set up our stroller after it came off the scanner while I was trying to juggle squirming 5 month old and other bags). Rather than being faced with a slew of McRestaurants, AUS has lots of local eateries to choose from. Take that Pizza Hut! And lastly, it's close in. Travel time from my doorstep to the ticketing counter is all of about 25 minutes.
