GM Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 My favorite airport is HK... It's a great design.. always interesting people watching! And the business class lounge for Cathay Pacific has great dimsum!!! My least favorite is Bangalore! That place is a pile!! I love airports though...

Guest ezywalker Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I like Changi, can watch a movie, have a swim, a spa. Lots of wireless options, decent last minute shopping. But the reason i rank it number 1 is the fact you can have a beer outside in a beer garden :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_thailand Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Can't really say that I have ever left an airport with a feeling of eutopia, but in the opposite direction, the WORST experience I ever had was Daka, Bangladesh, followed swiftly by Aman, Jordan.

PeeMarc Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Changi... it just works and always has. 2nd choice would be HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJack Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have always liked the Pan Am Terminal at JFK for its art deco white tubular entrance, which takes a few minutes to walk through as it winds down and to the side and it feels like you are a tiny Who walking into Hortons ear.... but after that it is just like any other airport.

LakeGeneve Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Definately HK, (I do miss the old airport fly in). Great open design, efficient systems and great transport with the Airport line. Chiangi is a close 2nd esp with the diverse shopping, TV & movies lounges and the new T3 looks great but they need to bring the planned airport line forward as the current option is too slow (if very cheap!). The old terminal 1 design at CDG still inspires of another time in travel. Helsinki is cozy and functional and I have fond memories of it for some reason. Rio is not much to speak of as an airport but you can't beat the amazing scenic flight . Least favourite without a doubt is Heathrow :twisted: with the total chaos, lack of intergration between terminals and inevitable flight delays. The new T5 though does look fairly good.

riga71 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 A little nostalgy for the "old" Don Muang.... The new Kuala Lumpur airport is quite nice. But my preferred is with no doubts the one in Koh Samui Airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Barra Airport - Barra is small island off Scotland's West coast and is the only beach airport in the world with scheduled services - scariest landing I have ever experienced!!!

English_Bob Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I like Dubai for a layover - plenty to see and do and beautifully presented. I like Suvarnabhumi for arrivals because it feels like I'm coming home. And I HATE with a vengeance Istanbul airport for being dirty, chaotic, slow and corrupt. I once got a machine gun pointed at me by an airport official asking for a bribe! (closest I ever came to REALLY filling my pants!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
