I've only ever connected in Charlotte, so I am of no use in regards to checking in or "checking out" in Charlotte, but its one of the few airports I don't mind spending a layover in. Being from Roanoke, VA, I don't mind a down home southern feel to things and I feel as if this airport provides that. Giant rocking chairs line the main food court between terminals and an abundance of food choices makes picking a restaurant hassle free. My only complaint is that it is a US Airways hub and every US flight that I've been on in the past month has either been canceled or delayed without reason. I may be moving to Charlotte next year, so if I do and start using it as my main airport, than this review will get an update. You can also get wireless internet for free sometimes depending on which terminal you are in. Woohoo for free internet in airports!
