Pheonix, Day Dream Away Your Layover
The land of the sharp, beautiful mountains. You can see the amazing sight perfect from the terminal and the control tower is set right in front of the setting sun. Get some good photo shots at this airport, worth it. Nice airport but nicer to be distracted by the beauty outside.
You Can Find Me In ST Lou-AY! Rain All Day, Not.
Hey I was raised in STL. The airport has definitely gone through an upgrade, as when I was home one Easter in college from DU in Denver, and it was hit by a tornado. The lights are all new and a whole new terminal and the rest got an upgrade. Big statues now line the halls. There is a Magic House playground in terminal A with a metro bus, a plane and a control tower. The shops are nice. I love the new fun decor. Hope you enjoy your layover in my hometown and have a taste of the laid-back Midwestern culture.
OC/John Wayne/Santa Ana
So many names for a small airport. As my parents lived in the OC this was the perfect airport for me to grow up in. I loved the few shops. A candy store and good plush toys it was a dream. The admirals club is up in the rafters and offers a very cool in the clouds feel. Big windows, very tall room. My favorite airport. Fast easy and cozy.
Auckland International/ Domestic
Super Friendly deffinetly that kiwi attitude of treat everyone as a friend. Clean and welcoming. Nice seating before security. Security in domestic is super easy and stress free, love this airport but then again there is a special place in my heart for New Zealand. Customes is easy but arrive late at night to avoid the lines if you do not have a NZ or AUS passport.
LAX, Nothing Like The Show
Anyone remember the show LAX? I know I do. I loved Heather Lockclear and her partners antics in trying to sabotage the other in their game of dominance over the terminals.
Big with a small down feel. It looks intimidating but they have the carriers split up nicely into more manageable sections. Don't let it scare you. I had a pleasant service here in the evening. Actually got to go through pre TSA here, no clue how that happened, but I didn't have to take my shoes off. WOAH! lol. I also enjoy their plant and tree enclosures near the gates. Great shops as always and great bars/ restaurants.

Dallas Fort WORTH
Worth every min. When I was younger I flew through here a lot. The sky tram once again is super fun like a ride at disney. If you know where to find it. even if you just need to kill time while you have a layover worth the ride. I love the Mall they have inside the airport. I have never been one for shopping or malls but this one is different I mean it's in an airport! They have book shops restaurants so so many shops! I always made a point of going through as many shops as I could.
WATCH OUT they constantly switch your gate on you and you have to change terminals right before your flight. Great fun for the adventurous spirits out there.

YUL How Is That Montreal Treadu?
This airport is a hub. I mean you are in Montreal, Quebec! The french was a little overwhelming at first. I knew the city was bilingual but it was more begrudenly so. The customs agents were nice. Especially since I forgot to write my address in the States and was freaking out that I hadn't seen one of my best friends in 2 years and was staying for a week. I was also seeing a friend I hadn't seen in 10 years and man she is super cute, so I was also nervous.
But the agent joked with me and just had me finish filling it out. "Only a week in Montreal? Why only a week!?" I gotta say customer service in Montreal is great. On my trip out I wanted to use the rest of my Canadian cash and the gift shop lady let me pay with the cash and my card, an inconvenience I am sure. Gotta say thought the U.S. customs agents were not so friendly on the way back. This Airports' begels sandwiches are a must have here! Also great place to spend time if you are looking to pick up some french. Also the village was amazing, definitely worth the visit.
