A press release issued
in honor of Aug. 17 being "National Aviation Day" says good-old Charlotte-Douglas International
is one of the 10 hottest airports in America
And we're not talking
about tarmac temperature.
The "Hottest
Airports in America " list
that has Charlotte
Hot or Not is an
android (Google Play) app about sex appeal.
"We surveyed
people within a certain radius -- we can target, based on location," said
a Hot or Not representative. "Someone within the airport area would
probably be voting."
When you "play
the game" on your phone, the profile picture of another Hot or Not players
nearby pops up on your phone.
And you can vote
whether you consider that person "hot" or not.
Hot or Not says it has
more than 8 million users in the United
State
The data used in the
airport survey, pulled in July, goes back as far as June 17, when its most recent
updated app was launched in the United
States
Here's their list of
"Hottest Airports in America
1. Denver
2. Fort Worth , Texas
3. Orlando , Fla.
4. Newark , N.J.
5. Los Angeles
6. Las Vegas
7. Charlotte
8. Seattle
9. San Francisco
10. Minneapolis
If the findings are accurate, what does this say
about Charlotte
Not much, actually. That's because, as a rule of
thumb, 80 percent of passengers at CLT are between flights; only 20 percent
board or depart here.
If anything, it may speak to the sex appeal of
our fly-through guests who are waiting for the next jet to elsewhere.

Of course, that assumes most of the responses are in the concourse area rather than outside the TSA checkpoints. Those would be people either departing or arriving... oh, and what part of that "80%" doesn't even get off the plane because they are not making connections?
See, stats aren't really that simple!
Hard to imagine Meacham being 100th let alone second. Unless, the author thinks DFW is in Fort Worth, which it is not. So much for any kind of credibility of this source.
Minneapolis is a great airport to have a layover at. Newark? Really?!?
John,
On the the basis of the arrivals and pickup area and air conditioning on A and C concourses at Douglas, the facility is still in the 50's….

MINNEAPOLIS IS THE BEST.
The boarding gates at Minneapolis are bars where people are pushed together so close that getting to know the person next to you is more of an affair than a conversation.
