Saw this interesting article in the Independent about the worlds worst airports:

http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/the-worlds-worst-airports-760778.html

Was wondering what in your opinion the three best and worst airports in the world are...

I’ll start off:

Best:
Hong Kong: apart from the crap wireless it is a breeze
Cork: right in middle of the city it is small but perfectly formed
Honolulu: it’s a semi-alfresco airport with a sea view and cocktails

Worst:
Tel Aviv: Not so much the building but the hours of questions and harassment every time you enter or leave.
Fuzhou: I’ve spent more hours than I care to remember in this shit-pit. Where they charge 50yuan for a cold cup of Nescafe!
Bangkok (the old one): awful brown terminal, nothing to do, miles from the city, why?

This cracked me up. I often go to Fuzhou and was there last week with my boss complaining exactly the same thing. Only it's now RMB65 for a cold coffee.

Best

Singapore - easy to get to, great facilities, good food and drink outlets, rooftop garden

Copenhagen - just love walking around and marvelling at the wonderful women......err architecture

HK - a bit dull and sterile but at least it's efficient.

Worst

Heathrow - a human cesspit

Gatwick - full of Chavs and very ugly women

Paris CDG - too many French people

Best:

HK - and it feels like home as Madonna once sung
S Korea - right nice boutiques and that
Athens - Small and pleasant.
Paris - love the design

Worst:

Hyderabad - like the last days of man - people saying goodbye to each other seperated by a wire fence.
BKK (the new one) - a waste of money and time and is utter pony. Architectural hell.
Ningbo - Need a dump? Forget it. Holes in the ground all the way in this hell hole.
Heathrow - Hell on earth
