CLT used to be better, but their passenger volume has increased significantly. I used to fly out of here as my main airport from 2005-2010, but have since moved away and just returned back. \n\nIt is moderately-sized and laid out well, with well-placed maps throughout the terminal. There is also a decent selection of restaurants.\n\nThe downside that I found on my recent trip is that volume is up heavily and there is not enough room to accommodate the additional passengers. The hallways were packed and there were no empty seats to be found.\n\nEven the U.S. Airways lounge was crowded.
