Try Seattle, where you collect your bags off the conveyor belt, go through customs, then they take your bags off you again while you get the shuttle train to the other terminal, and you wait to get your bags off yet another conveyor belt.
Try Brussels. Check in queues for different flights all merging and jumbling together, no restaurants or shops after you go through security, and impossible sometimes to find out what gate your flight is departing from.
It's dire. The restaurants just serve muck and I much prefer to be able to go through security before sitting down to have a meal, as you can relax then. In Brussels you have to eat and do any shopping before security. Then, if your flight is delayed a couple of hours, you can't even buy a book or a magazine to pass the time.
