Worst. Airport. Ever. I connected through FLL for an international flight. When I arrived I had to ask about 3 people how to get to the international terminal. When I finally found out where to go, there were no personnel at the airline counter to answer any of my questions (it was 9am). The security line was the MOST disorganized process I have ever encountered people were cutting line, no one knew where to go just awful.

On the way back into the country, I again connected through FLL. My inbound flight arrived late, so I only had 20 minutes to get through immigration and customs before my next flight boarded. I explained to a customs rep that there was no way I would make my next flight if I remained in my current position. He had NO compassion and said they didn't expedite the process for such reasons. Ten minutes later I desperately asked an airline representative and she let me skip ahead of 10-12 people so I could get through immigration. I then had to wait for my luggage for an additional 10-15 minutes. After cutting to the front of the customs line, I finally made it out of the international terminal. When I realized I would never make my next flight, an angel in the form of a baggage attendant took my luggage and said he would make sure it got on the flight (it did nothing short of a miracle). I then sprinted to security and arrived with 15 minutes to spare before my flight took off. I again expected compassion from the TSA agents, but was met with complete apathy. While the line was steadily growing, one of the TSA agents chose to take a break while the other was manned by an agent in training (thus extremely slow). By the time it was my turn I literally taking my shoes/belt off while they were checking my passport. Miraculously I made my flight (they closed the door 30 seconds after I boarded), but this was no thanks to any assistance from airport personnel. The saving grace was that baggage attendant who ensured that my suitcase got to the right place. However, trust me when I say that in the future I will do everything I can to avoid flying through FLL.
