I am not a big traveler but I always hear people say “hub” & from what I’m gathering it’s like a home base for certain airlines? Why do people like/not like them?
For example delta has a hub in atl but everyone complains about flying delta out of atl because “it’s a hub”…

The most efficient air travel method is basically to have one airport that basically has connections to all of your partner airports, meaning that anyone can get anywhere in at least two flights. Doing this also simplifies a lot of the operations for the airlines, as you can concentrate a lot of the logistics involved in running an airline to that hub.
The only issue is that hubs are massive and busy, and have a harder time dealing with delays than smaller airports. The sheer scope of the operations of airports like Dallas Love or Atlanta or Chicago O’Hare means that, if you’re gonna have a problem at any point in your travel, it’s gonna happen in those hubs, and it’s harder to resolve because the machine of airport logistics can’t just stop to fix your issues.
