Fort Lauderdale Airport

Terminal I at Fort Lauderdale is the worse I have recently experienced. The catering facilities were at best described as basic and totally inadequate for the post New Year volume. The airline information was inadequate. Clearly not an airport to enter until the flight is due to board.

Used FLL on 2/10/07 and again 2/17/07. Inbound wasn't bad - I got a kick out of the decor in the baggage claim area as well as the use of music instead of an alarm before the conveyor belt started up. However on the return trip I also found that the employees are rude as well as quite a few of the passengers.

Flew into and from new terminal one (on Continental but terminal services NW Southwest and JetBlue) - so much easier than Miami! Nice sit-down restaurant. Terminal is very open and tropical in feeling. If you are flying within the US this is much the better alternative. The one problem is that there was a line for security.
