Really? Well I typically don't check-in anything, so I use the kiosks at the Business Elite entrance at Terminal 3. No lines and security is a breeze.

SFO has a poor on-time record. It has two close together runways which are normally used for landing. If there if fog (common) or rain, only one can be used, which means that incoming flights will be delayed (and outbound flights depending on the incoming planes will be delayed).

OAK and SJC have much better on-time records, and OAK is about the same time from downtown San Francisco as SFO is.

While I have on occasion tried to pick a more interesting itinerary, usually we just choose the lowest fare and either wait or rush through whichever airport it connects at. :)

I fly out of ORD so I can't avoid it (I refuse to fly out of MDW because of distance and traffic.)

I only fly non-stop so any delays at ORD will not cascade on me.

i am finding that AA out of DFW is quite prone to delays. Even on segments where WN has ON-FREAKING-TIME flights from DAL to the same destination!!! The only times I fly are generally evenings (sunday night and thursday night), and these seem to be the ones most likely to be weather-ed.

Usually, I avoid LRH, LAX and ORD......and I've managed to stay out of LAX for about a decade.

My attempts to avoid ORD have failed lately: getting rerouted through it twice, and having it as destination soon. Also, the LRH scheme has failed with having it as destination recently....

But to the original question: yes :)

When going to SF, I sometimes pick SJO over SFO, although SFO is not too bad....

I avoid ORD. I find that when they need a plane, or the airport is having problems the ORD-MKE flight is always the first canceled because they can just bus the pax to MKE:td: :mad:

The airports I frequent are: LGA, JFK, EWR, ORD, IAD, and LHR. Enough said?

SJO is quite a hike to downtown SF... SJC is much closer :cool:

Hey, after a long-haul from Europe.....But you're right, I meant SJC, thanks ^

Yup.

Unless something in the scheduling is very compelling I avoid PHL like the plague. I will spend $600 more to use ABE. I have wasted enough of my OWN TIME on that miserable excuse of an airport.
