Cincinnati also has a decent business community to support flights. CVG-CDG has always performed well financially thanks to be business community in Cincinnati, namely P&G. Delta recently announced that Starting this summer CVG-CDG will now be operated with the newly reconfigured 767's.

I have family members that live in Memphis so I fly there a few times a year. While I enjoy the Skyclub and the friendly Skyclub staff I can't share that sentiment wight the rest of the airport. Old,dirty, and way outdated are the words that come to my mind.
Old dirty and outdated sounds like a description of ATL except for the new Terminal F, but that's mostly for ATL O&D passengers as others--those connecting in ATL--now do customs and immigration in Terminal E, the old place.
