Airports are often complaint magnets.
Now comes a survey on airports from the research firm J.D. Powers and Associates covering everything from the quality of airport terminals to the variety of retail shops and food establishments to the accessibility of gates and baggage areas. The survey ranked Lambert Field below the industry average for customer satisfaction. I know that's not the airport's fault, but you wonder why the terminals are so long that it seems like the Bataan Death March to reach your gate. If my toe is any indication this year, you can kiss off global warming. Don't worry, no one's taking invasive surgery to outpatient extremes.
