Seriously? I guess if you get stuck having to go from low B to high A it's quite a long walk and I'm not so happy about what's happened to the moving walkways, but LAX? I'm done with the subterranean tunnel hikes to TBIT, the tiny cramped terminals, the eagles nest nonsense, and the nasty TSA employees and AAgents. I think LAX is one of the worst airports in the nation.. I'll do TPAC connections at SFO and if I need to go to LA, I'll go to BUR, SNA, etc. but I avoid LAX like the plague.

In any case, PHX is my home airport so I never connect there, but here is hoping that now that the skytrain improvements and the new SW gates are finished, they will spend some $$ upgrading T4 and the tiny Admirals clubs. Given the great weather, minimal delays, friendly people... it could be an outstanding hub, although given Phoenix air quality, the city probably can do without additional air traffic.
