No love for Halifax? Beautiful view of the tarmac and runways from the secure area. At least three bars that I can count off the top of my head. Security is quick and easy. The gates are well labeled and easy to find, lots of seating. I *think* there is free wifi. Tons of parking and parking options. Three four hotels all by the airport. Two Tim Hortons locations, BK and Chicken Burger. What more could you want? Although I'm told the amenities once you clear US customs are lacking.

Oh and the view from the lookout lounge is unbelievable!


I also have a special place in my heart for Sydney NS. It's small, but the view from the waiting area is decent, the restaurant is world class, wait time is non existent (at least if you're flying out on the Dashes which is all I ever have. They keep updating it, the new secure area should be really nice.

Plus the view next to the airfield is excellent.

However it's boring if you have an extended wait, but as a small regional airport it's always the end stop, no layover.
