on American. No complaints about security but I did have trouble getting information about transit from the airport. It turns out there's a $3 train that runs 24/7, but hell if I could find any info about it posted, or anyone to ask at 1 am; so I took a cab that turned out to be a limo and the ride cost way more than I was told at the airport. Okay that one was my fault, but if the city spends all that money running trains to and from the airport you'd think they'd find a way to let passengers know.

p.s. it's called the Blue Line and until you know that it's not so easy to find online info either.
