As for connecting... how 'nice' a city/area is doesn't matter to me if I'm not leaving the airport. What matters is the airport operations and connecting times and options.

Yeah, I am very aware of that. It’s very overcrowded!! So many people are flying everywhere!! It will be very tough for them. Very difficult for me to fly Delta. I rather to stayed away from the airport. I’m not going anywhere in a long time.
