Albuquerque International Sunport
I've never seen such a clean, well crafted airport. It's got so much of it's New Mexican culture (Native American roots) embedded in it. A few years ago it was undone, and boy does it show. I live in LA, so when I visited New Mexico I was pleasantly surprised with this beautiful airport!
There are a variety of restaurants that cater to every taste: from the typical fast food restaurants (of course), to the distinctive New Mexican foods, to nice sports bars, and other traditional restaurants. Although there are plenty of people at this airport, it always seems tranquil and quiet.
I wouldn't mind being stuck at the Albuquerque International Sunport one afternoon.
I hope this helps :)

The actual system runs really well too, but I'm guessing that doesn't really matter if you're stuck there. The chairs are pretty comfortable for a nap though.

M$the only thing not likable about it is the fact that is nearly impossible to get out of the restricted area since it became a special administrative region...
personally have been stuck in may airports around the globe...

M$However, I feel you might be looking for more answer than that. I have always liked the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. It's clean, has lots of unique stores inside, and is really close to the Mall of America.
I will say I HATE the Detroit airport. I got stuck there for 8 hours in 1990. They had no carts to hold your bags (I was traveling with my cat and she got heavy after a while) and it was very scarce. To this day, I avoid any flights that go through there.

Stuck in for how long? Have you seen "The Terminal"... :)
Min/St Paul is a good hub too. I forgot about that one, but I have had some connecting destinations that were really good, and it was all around pleasent though they always switch the flight terminals which will lead people to running around a lot.
When I got stuck at DFW roughly twelve months ago due to snow, the best place to sleep was the D concourse. The carpet was better than the cots that were passed out. In contrast, HNL does not have such a space in case of a similar sort of event.
Experience. I've flown a bit lately.

Yeah being from DFW I am biased but I agree, that whole terminal station and coordination is the best I have ever seen. Back around 15 years ago I worked with the Doubletree Hotel in Irving,Tx. That hub was so easy to get around and so many people were pleasant and shocked how well that airport did business. IMHO that terminal is better than SWA in LOVE Field because Dallas TC/Agents are very cranky. Dallas, LA, and SFO are the best in the US to take care of their people
As strange as it sounds LAX is the best terminal I have ever been in and out of, could have been the SWA staff looked after their employees wanting to fly for free, which is a good thing being treated well for a company you work for but being a staffer behind the scenes.
However, MDW in Chicago is a NIGHTMARE, and SEA in Seattle is a huge pain in the ass. Never traveled much to the East Coast, but INIT Gattwick is a much better terminal than Heathrow for London/Paris based destinations. It truly depends on the carrier you are with, though I dont work with Southwest Airlines anymore, they are good unless your are in thier zone of rotten employees, ElPaso, SanDiego, Seattle, Chicago, InD, Baltimore, Amarillo, Austin, etc. However the LAX branch of SWA was the best, and Always chose British airways, tell them you work in the business and the tc agent will upgrade you for free. That is if you are sincere

Worst is a tie:
Miami's international terminal - reminded me of crossing the border at Tijuana in the 1970's. Grubby with grouchy authorities everywhere.
Phoenix. Land there because you're going somewhere else. Stay for the food poisoning!

M$For late night flights across the Pacific - San Francisco International. They have good restaurants to grab dinner before.
After a red eye from the west coast the east - Atlanta. It has terminal trains.
