With clients spread around the globe, travel is way of life for many PR people. Trade shows, desk-side briefings, new business pitches and the occasional vacation make flying a necessity.

So, I reached out to my traveling colleagues via email with a questionnaire to find out what airports they love to hate and the following made the list:

• Heathrow in London won top honors for the most-hated followed closely by Chicago’s O’Hare with complaints of “utter chaos” and “always confusing with missed connections.”

• Washington Dulles International because it’s so far out—apparently you can’t get there from here.

• Dallas – Fort Worth. It’s too damn big.

• LAX is too dilapidated.

• LaGuardia treats passengers like cattle.

• McCarron (Las Vegas) is all about waiting, waiting, waiting—and don’t forget those shuttles.

What’s your least favorite airport and why?
