As someone who travels frequently for work and genuinely enjoys airports, Charlotte Douglas has…read morebecome my home airport. Like any major hub, it has its strengths and its growing pains. The biggest challenge is the ongoing construction. It seems like every time I fly through CLT, another section is under renovation. Hopefully the finished product will be worth the wait. Until then, give yourself extra time. If you're flying out of gates in Terminal E, or connecting between A, C, and E, be prepared for a serious walk. Thirty minutes isn't out of the question depending on your gate assignment. The moving walkways also seem to be out of service more often than they're working, which makes those long walks feel even longer. That said, there are some big improvements. The new TSA PreCheck checkpoint near Door 3 has been a game changer. If you're enrolled in TSA's Touchless ID program, the process is incredibly fast. No digging for your driver's license--just walk through using facial recognition, and you're on your way. It's one of the smoothest security experiences I've had. Despite the construction, the airport offers plenty of dining and shopping options, and the staff I've encountered have generally been helpful. CLT is also one of the busiest hubs in the country, so a little patience goes a long way. It's not my favorite airport in the world, but it's an efficient gateway to almost anywhere you want to go. Plan ahead, wear comfortable shoes, and build in a little extra time for the walk. The world is a big place. Go see it.

Charlotte Douglas has become another aging U.S. airport that has long since outgrown the number of…read morepassengers it was designed to handle. As a major American Airlines hub, it suffers from constant congestion, especially during peak travel periods. The waiting areas are bursting at the seams, forcing passengers to become "gate lice" because there's simply nowhere else to sit. The iconic rocking chairs scattered throughout the concourses are a charming Southern touch, but they aren't enough to redeem the overall experience. The retail selection is uninspired, and the food and beverage options are equally lackluster. Perhaps there's a newer or better terminal I didn't see, but based on my experience in Concourses C and D, CLT is an airport I get through rather than one I enjoy spending time in.

You won't get any fancy restaurants or bars here, but you'll get through TSA quickly and once you get through there are only two gates! No confusing terminals.. I am hoping they will expand flights to different locations besides Florida. The only con is the only fly out on certain days, but I recon that's why the fights are so cheap, so you make it work! Staff is also very kind here.

Plane (5 hour flight) ran out of food (even snack boxes) well before getting to us. Flight attendants were salty about it.

Took hours to get the hotel room we were promised. Now getting home six hours later than before on much worse flights. I will now drive 12-16 hours in any direction before using American - they go out of their way to make you feel inhuman.

I appreciate the full lettuce leaf instead of the massacred shredded mush that has taken over the sandwich world. This burger had the smash burger-meets-five guys vibe with that crunchy, caramelized edges and the right grind. Solid fast food burger. 4 stars because the bun, while flavorful and fresh could not keep up. STARS LOST FOR THE awful excuse for a "frozen custard" shake. A bit of false advertising to say it was a frozen custard since custard is made with an egg base and creamy. This tasted more like a low version of a Wendy's frosty with too much chocolate syrup. Epic fail on that. Bottom line- Get the burger. Skip the fake shake.

I often connect through Charlotte Douglas International Airport on my way to and from Curaçao. The…read morechoices are limited from Logan International Airport, and there are no nonstop flights. I prefer Charlotte because even though it's one of the busiest airports in the U.S. for takeoffs and landings, it has a relatively small footprint and feels surprisingly manageable compared to many major hubs. Connections are generally straightforward, and most gates are accessible without excessively long walks or train transfers. Another major advantage is the hotel situation. There are numerous hotels very close to the airport, many just a few minutes away by shuttle or Uber. Compared with other large hub airports, overnight connections in Charlotte are far less stressful. There are some negatives with CLT. The food choices, though better than in the past, are still fairly weak. And if your flight is departing early or connecting late, many of the options are closed. I've eaten at 1897 Market multiple times, which we consider a mediocre option, partly because it was the only restaurant open at the time. That said, most airport food isn't very good anyway, so I'll likely continue to use CLT for my BOS-to-CUR trips. Overall, I find it to be one of the more practical and efficient connecting airports when non stops are not an option.
