SAN is pretty good if you ask me. There's only one runway so it's not too hard.

LGB. Pain in the ass to find if you're coming from Catalina on the arrival at night while dodging Cessnas. Not to mention the construction and multiple runways etc...

Hilton Head is actually impossible to see until lined up within 20 degs of final. The local chamber of commerce or somebody refuses to let the airport boundry be extended farther than like 3 inches from the runway edge. Which has 40 foot trees along it.

way to bring back an old thread... I didn't go to SBY much but it was kinda hard to find on one of my ferry flights into there...

HVN sucked as well for awhile.

I'll second Newark. That place is rough at night especially if there's rain. Lots of snow? Fugedaboutit! I mean, taxiway lights! C'mon! A lousy taxiway light! It takes 4 guys from the Port Authority to change a men's room sign sign but we can't install some taxiway lights? Get out of here!

Ok. End rant.

Disclaimer: I'm an XJT guy and spend about 1/4 to 1/2 of each month going in and out of EWR and I still get tripped up sometimes.

While at PDT I only flew into EWR a few times, I heard horror stories from other crews. However when I was there it was in and out, once we were on the ground I got "Taxi to parking with me." from the tower.

Only thing I didn't like was that at the time the people handling our ground service had no clue how to load or fuel the dash and I had to show them and send the paper work back twice.
