It’s better than CLT. I’m paying like 1700/mo for an apartment in the least cultured city in history.

I like the area enough that if there were to be some airline base there, I’d target it to live there. Alas, there isn’t. Charlotte is the other option in my mind but somebody decided not to call me

The only redeeming thing about CLT is if you have enough time on a layover to get Bojangles

TBF the Billy Graham museum is pretty fascinating as a temple to the art of carnival barking. They don't understand how much they let the mask slip, it's almost end of Wizard of Oz tier

Sometimes when I’m having a bad day in Charlotte I drive by that big beautiful library and just think oh well at least I’m not underground dead like that Billy Graham bitch.

Charlottes not my ideal place to live at all but man, what isn’t a soulless place to live? I’ve conditioned myself/my wife by living in some of the worst places known to man (ie Jacksonville, NC) so any airline base is super attractive.

Neat! they look great tbh but also very much not places i'd ever feel comfortable at here's an actual aviation question, sort of - planning a trip overseas and a lot of flights i'm looking at connect in charlotte as it's one of the four airports my local flies to. better/worse than atlanta/dfw/houston?

ATL is the easiest the get around due to trains but is also the most crowded. Charlotte doesn’t have mass transit around beyond people movers but isn’t particularly large and can be gotten around fairly easily; also the atrium is cool. Houston has a neat sky train deal iirc (and one in the basement made by Disney engineers), but then you have to be in Texas. Land of contrasts and so forth.

I'd pick ATL or CLT. ATL is crowded but gigantic with lots of places to eat. The train gets you around quick so the size isn't a problem. CLT is much smaller, but changing terminals (likely) can feel like hoofing it to another zipcode. I'd pick CLT because I've connected through there a lot so I know where to grab a beer and some Bojangles, Smash Burger, or Shack Shack. Catch the Itis for the next flight.

Thanks all - noted for sure. Local airport flies to Houston, Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, Memphis and Charlotte is the only one I hadn't connected from yet just because I'd never flown in that general direction. Value this input.

Many would argue visiting Charlotte and never leaving the airport is the optimal way to visit the city.

It is very much not and you should be ashamed of yourself. Warbird posted:Many would argue visiting Charlotte and never leaving the airport is the optimal way to visit the city.

Come visit us in the Finding Cheap Airfare thread and we'll get all nerdy about this stuff. i've got that one bookmarked, and prices are more or less the same for all of them (for now) so i was kind of looking at what airport is the least terrible to spend a few hours in
