Airport Tales: Charlotte, NC

We promised to keep it real when we travel and we plan to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly!

The Visiting Ninja had a connecting flight in Charlotte, NC.  She spent 3 hours waiting for her flight and these were her observations:

The Good:
Charlotte airport is breathtaking!  It is wide and spacious with plenty of windows.  Lots of comfortable seating and even rocking chairs near the windows for better views of the planes coming and going.

They have every store imaginable, a beer garden type restaurant, Pinkberry, spacious walkways and easy to find concourses. It felt very "traveler friendly", bathrooms were clean and attended by very nice ladies in uniform and it was pleasing to the eye.



The Bad (aka why I want to beat other people's children):

I was waiting for an international flight out and since I had 2 hours to kill I spent a lot of time just watching the scene.  I have never in my life seen so many reckless children and unobservant parents.  It is NOT ok to let your children run around screaming at a busy airport!  I counted 12 out of control children who were just doing whatever they wanted and their parents were allowing it!  I could not believe it.  Unfortunately all of these children were waiting to get onto my flight.  Argh!

 
There was no real "ugly" to report.  All in all I enjoyed my layover time in Charlotte and will probably connect through there many times in the future.  I will make sure to bring a loaded mp3 player and big headphones to drown out the screaming children. :)
