My reason for picking SFO might be alittle different than other members. Being a employee of United and only being able to fly standby other airline employees will understand certain airports being very difficult to get a seat out of. Well, SFO is the worst airport for me when it comes to having problems getting a seat on a flight back to ORD.

Worst one I've had to deal with so far - ATL on Delta. Park at gate A1 after your flight arrives late only to find out your connecting flight is in the final boarding process at gate B32. After running like a madman, somehow I barely made it to my flight.

I really don't consider LAS to be a hub airport, unless you're flying America West. Lots of O & D (origin and destination) traffic to rival any hub, though.

Even tho it's my hometown, I'd have to say MIA. Just horrendous! Fun, but horrendous, non-the-less...

I hate going through FRA.
No reason, just bad experiences!

Even though I'm based there, I voted for JFK. The whole airport is a disaster, whether you're going from one airline to another in a different terminal, or just trying to get through U.S. Customs. It's a dirty mess, and most of the terminals are over 40 years old and run-down.
