Best Airports You Have Visited?

McCarron in Las Vegas sucks ass. they need a new one that fits the city.

it wasnt fancy or anything, but i liked the airport in Medellin, Colombia. Nice, clean, not cluttered and not overcrowded. or at least not the times i was there

McCarran is cool because you get the best view of the strip . it a better view than you get even on the high roller at the linq.

Schiphol Airport Amsterdam.

It is incredibly well designed and a pleasure to use. It's built using a branching structure around a central hub

why is this a good design? does it make the take off faster?

SIN, ICN, BKK, NRT, TPE, and LAX are pretty nice.

LAX has definitely improved it got really terrible in the mid 2000's with the restaurants inside.

Long Beach Airport or any airport that's really small and has no traffic.

What's your terminal? Doesn't matter at Long Beach Airport.

That just isn't possible at other airports, but I agree. The worst ones I've been to are the ones where you're forced to shuttle between terminals.

long beach airport charges a ton of money the only flights that are cheap are jet blue flights to SF for about 100 dollars. they also have way less flights than LAX.

Denver Airport because it always took my breath away

Charles De Gaulle sucks a massive horse cock. Been there last November, 1/10 would not recommend. The thing is huge and Priority Pass lounge was half an hour trip away from my boarding gate, what the?? Also there were no restaurants to eat at, we found a shitty overpriced buffet and a shitty overpriced sushi place and that was all.
I liked Kuala Lumpur's International airport. Moscow airports are convenient but bland.

It's a very large and very busy airport and yet ones passage through it is painless, smooth and fast. There's never any long queues, everything is signposted well. It's clean, pleasant to look at, well lit. It was created to deal with the amount of traffic that is required of it. It's why it's one of the world hubs.

It is very well designed.

Best - Singapore. I happily spent 12hrs there and it felt like a night out. There were two football (soccer games) on that I had a huge interest in, being played on massive screens with huge leather seats everywhere - me and my mate weren't going to bar (around £8-9 a beer), we were taking turns in going to the 7-11 type place and buying beers to take back to the seating area.

In between games, we went for a slap up meal, did a bit of shopping (aftershave etc), back to the sports and getting drunk. Brilliant.


Worst - loads. Miami is the only airport I've actually issued a complaint about. The staff were cunts. They deliberately made around 5-6 people miss their connecting flight by being out and out jobsworths, there were dozens of people tweeting about them on the spot while this was happening so I hope some of those wankers lost their jobs due to the waves of bad publicity.

Plenty of shithole tiny airports but usually you're only there for 1hr maximum.

Holguin, Cuba.

Its basically a farmer’s field with a large billboard of Fidel shouting “Socialismo O Muerte”

It was very welcoming.

Best: Marrakesh
Worst: Nairobi

Haneda Tokyo has the cleanest toilets.

I love shitting so I know.

Edo Market at Haneda is awesome.

Seoul

For anyone flying into Seoul at night from Incheon, I highly reccomend taking the bus into Seoul instead of the train. The trip into Seoul seeing the bridges and lights at night is breathtaking. You have to take like 2 or 3 connecting routes in the middle of Seoul to get where you're going and you will get lost since the bus routes are all in Korean lmao but it's totally worth it. So expect to walk around the middle of Seoul confused and jet lagged for a few hours trying to find busses. You'll have to connect your phone to a Starbucks or some free wi fi to find your way... That's actually a fun memory for me, getting lost my first few hours in a super dense futuristic 20 million person city with no English around after the breathtaking bus trip.

The trip on the train is cheaper, easier, and faster and they have English translations but it just passes by a bunch of farms. It's cool if you didn't get to see the Korean countryside and you want to see a little bit before you leave I guess on the way to the airport during the day.

If you use google maps, it's going to tell you to take the bus anyway because google maps absolutely sucks in south korea. that's why i took it haha. but you're looking at spending like $15 on busses and maybe $2 on the train but it's worth it for sure.

Scariest Lukla, Nepal...



No need for bathrooms on planes flying to/from it, just mop the seats after each flight.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

De Gaulle was really shitty and run down until you got inside the part with all the shops. Then it was completely awesome. But the rest of it, holy shit. It seemed like something thrown together by a few guys in just a couple days.

LAX is an awful airport.

I have to agree. I don't know what people are talking about that like LAX. It fucking sucks compared to many other airports similar in size/traffic.

With the major airports, sometimes it's more about the terminal than the airport itself. The newly renovated Terminal C at IAH is really nice, whereas Terminal A is pretty plain. DTW added a nice terminal for Northwest, but if you were flying Southwest you ended up in the original terminal that was an absolute shithole. I think that's since changed, but I don't connect through DTW like I used to.

I have several favorites, but Koh Samui sticks out the most for me. Taipei is also pretty nice, but I also believe that varies by terminal.

I've heard Singapore in incredible. Have never been myself. Though it's not the nicest, I was surprised by how decent Detroit's airport was based on the city.

I like O'Hare. The only downside is I monitor corporate travel among other things for the company I work for. O'Hare gets a strong breeze, some rain drops or snow flakes and they are crazy fast to cancel/delay flights. We get notifications for them at least 2 to 1 for any other airport. It's funny too because Midway almost never delays or cancels.

I would be happy if I never had to fucking set foot in O'Hare again in my life. I used to travel there 4-5 times a year for business and had some god awful experiences there.
