Cleveland Hopkins, I don't care what they say about you. I love going to the airport and I've never *knock on wood* had issues getting through security.
My faves are the Dunkin' Donuts (getting my Blueberry Iced coffee fix on) and the fact that I can find a place to charge my iPhone while waiting for a flight. The only downside is getting to the airport with 45 minutes to spare (because I always have to be 'fashionably' late) and needing to literally RUN to the Continental, er, United Concourse... especially down and up those stairs!
Compared to other airports I've been to, yes, Cleveland is tiny. But - shouldn't that be something you're grateful for?
