| - Surprisingly to me, after decades of flying, I just discovered that CLT has got to be one of the best airports I've ever been to! I guess living on the West Coast and flying mostly United and Delta kept me from experiencing this sooner. Seems Charlotte is a huge US Airways hub (in fact, *every* single airplane I saw here was US Airways).
The airport terminals are mostly standard, but they've got a good mix of stores and restaurants interspersed throughout, and everything seems cleaner and newer than I would have expected. The main terminal is very large, open, and bright, with several restaurants and stores and even a guy playing a grand piano. Wow!
With a couple hours to burn here, I tried to check out the Carolina Brewing Co in Terminal E, but they weren't opened for lunch. Looks like a great terminal, though. I stopped by the EA store and played NHL 2012 one of the PS3s they had in the store; what a great way to spend time between flights!! Grabbing lunch at Bad Daddy's and watching some NASCAR on TV helped me feel like I was experiencing North Carolina a bit, too.
