Personally, I like CLT.. I spend most of my travelling connecting time in CLT and I find it very nice..

I am a fan of United's Denver operation. I seldom have many significant delays and with the runway layout and capacity, there are seldom long waits for active runways. Plus, I like the layout of UA's operations across the B concourse and the ease of connecting. Granted, I have never flown on TED, which being out of A, might be more difficult.

I bet the FedEx operation at Memphis is impressive. I've only looked over at the operation while zooming along the runway, but the amount of aircraft they accept, reload and push with the speed and accuracy they do it with is amazing.

As much as I'm sick of RJs and as much as the managment here aggrivates me, I'm gunna nominate Cleveland. It's never delayed, there are seldom ever ground stops like EWR, snow is removed rapidly in winter and congestion is cleared out quickly, especially now we're running 2 9,000 foot runways. If you don't mind ERJs and 737s, CLE is also a great airport to connect through and concourse D is a great terminal.

How anyone could pick ORD as the best hub is BEYOND me. O'hare suffers from chronic delays for any number of reasons. Additionally, the layout between flights is none to obvious sometimes.
A nice hub in my opinion would be Charlotte, Denver (as long as you are just transfering), DFW (as long as it is O/D), and Munich. Amsterdam is nice too.

NW at MSP - much better than ORD, and a nice terminal.

STL - small size, easy to connect, close to home
CVG - good size as well, awesome bars in RJ concourse, get to see lots of jets from the transfer bus
ATL - congestion sometimes, but good selection of bars and nice terminals

From an aesthetical point of view, I find Northwest's DTW WorldGateway pretty impressive, at over a mile long.

I love NW's DTW hub. Lots of room to grow. No traffic issues. Fresh and new. The tram is great. No gate is more than a few minutes away.

As a passenger, I enjoy NW transfers at MEM -- compact terminal that's surprisingly airy and well maintained for its age; friendly staff.
As an aviation enthusiast and aircraft photographer, AA connections at ORD are great due to the excellent views of the international ramp and the south-side runways.
Safe travels!

1. DL-ATL
Gotta love the biggest airline hub in the world. 685 mainline flights and 300 DL Connection flights to nearly 200 cities worldwide.
2. NW-MSP I've got to have pride in my hometown. I've always loved MSP and NW's hub here, and they defend it like it's nobody's business. Great shops, looks like a mall. 2nd most cities served from any US airport after ATL.
3. AA-DFW
Second largest hub in the world, with nearly 540 daily mainline flights.
4. DL-CVG
620 daily flights to over 130 cities, and it's DL's 2nd largest hub. Convenient and nice.
5. CO-EWR
I went there in December for the first time, it was nice. I had a better appreciation for CO. It's only the only true HUB in the New York area.

My favorite hub/airline is Chicago O'Hare United Airlines.
I believe United has about 47% of the market share and American has 40%.
Other favorites include:
Charlotte (CLT) USAirways
Washington Dulles (IAD) United
Atlanta (ATL) Delta

27 Jfrworld: ORD is a nightmare if you need to connect from UA mainline to UA express in a hurry. I personally like HP's operation at PHX. 1. 200+ mainline, ~120 e
28 Ejmmsu: MEM, although its old, small, and somewhat stuffy, is my favorite connecting hub for two main reasons: 1. It is the easiest hub i've ever connected in
29 F9HNLPLZ: F9-DEN... Is is great hub and its all on one concourse. Can every airline say that in DEN??? Also love HNL for HA and AQ. Great gates and great flight
30 Hjulicher: I like AMS. Although I really like DTW, I don't know what it's like making connections there because it's my final destination. But Amsterdam is brigh

33 Aloha73G: I really like AQ at HNL (duh). There are great pictures from Aloha's history around their gates at the Makai Pier (gates 49-53). Most convenient trans
34 DeltAirlines: Personally, I think that DL in ATL is a very efficient set-up for the sheer quantity of flights that they handle. It's very simple in terms of set-up
35 TACAA320: My personal preferences: 1) Houston [Intercontinental] 2) Dallas/Fort Worth 3) Los Angeles
36 UsAirways16bwi: here are the ones i like: CLT on US- PHL is ok, but too much hassle. CLT is nicer and easy to get through ATL on DL or FL- I love how massive ATL is a
