Second part of the question!
In my opinion, the airports in the US are mostly all very organized. The airport I picked up was Dallas Forth as I landed in Dallas when I first time came to the US.
I find that the Dallas airport was very well managed to take into consideration Foyal's five management functions. The only thing I felt which was not up to the standards was the coordinating. To go from one terminal to another terminal is through the small train shuttle, which was not displaying the airlines flying through specific gates, so I have to get off that shuttle two times to see my flight gate, and then I had to get back on that shuttle.
