Maybe they do. I still call it National just like I did before the rename that I was not in favor of.

Posted by Zarathud]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2013 22:54:01 -0800 The Stranger It was a sad chapter in Seattle/Tacoma history. But you had to be there.
Airport names matter a great deal to the folks whose city the airport serves.

(Snipped from Wikipedia's article on IATA airport codes:
"All major airports in Canada use airport codes that begin with the letter "Y", although not all "Y" codes are Canadian. Many Canadian airports simply append a combinations of letters in the city's name to the "Y": YOW for Ottawa, YYC for Calgary, and YVR for Vancouver. Some Canadian codes are much harder to identify simply through the letters alone, particularly at two of Canada's largest airports, YUL for Montreal-Trudeau and YYZ for Toronto-Pearson.")

As a past San Franciscan, I'd love to see something public in The City named for Harvey besides a concrete Muni entrance full of winos.

Very true about LAX.

JFK, I should add, while not totally terrible, requires a lot of mental preparation on my part (generally, prepare for an 4 hour delay, rejoice when there isn't one).

I'm sticking with LAX for "shittiest airport", though. Especially if you arrive at customs one minute after ten 747s full of new immigrants from Asia with three 25-cubic-feet suitcases each (i.e., pretty much any day of the week).

@22, no, you just have to walk three miles through the corridors. And the heads? "A shipment of 18 human heads, still covered in skin". Yeah, like you've never lost your head in the airport when your flight gets delayed for the seventh time running.

Doesn't Heathrow Express go right up in there to a few different terminals? I get really turned around in that God-awful airport. Though I suppose it's a moot point because it's not the same thing as if the tube actually went to the airport.

As for DCA, see above. Republicans call it "Reagan", I suppose.

@17, @18, I didn't know that. Cool. You still have to go outside, but it looks like they did it right. Sadly, I haven't flown into Washington in forty years.

Fnarf, the green line stops right at DCA.

SFO is a hell of a lot easier to get to the city from than it used to be before the BART extension, I'll tell you that. But OAK is still better, and better yet soon. Shame that no one in America can figure out how to put the train RIGHT IN the station instead of a bus or other train or mile-long walk away. I'll never forget Copenhagen; I remember getting sort of pissed off because the sign said "train" but there was no walkway that I could see -- and then the wall opened up and the train was there. Ten feet away.
