Maybe you don't get around enough in the U.S.
Seattle's new food court and retail hall is quite lovely. Denver's main terminal building with the suspended fabric roof and fountain is nothing short of spectacular. The E Concourse area of IAH. (Yeah, I know the old terminals are as bad as NW's DCA digs). Plus there are some very, very nice smaller terminals like Chattanooga, Madison, even OKC. Terminal 2 @ SAN ain't bad either. Have you seen Midway lately?
