In the US DTI and DFW are surprisingly awesome.
I don't understand why New York City's airports are such shit. That is embarrassing tbqh.

Assuming we're only talking major cities. I have been to some backwater shit-hole airports.

It's hard to compare the big international hubs with the smaller airports but here goes...
Best
Seoul Incheon
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi
Copenhagen - I like the style (very Danish) and the fact it serves Copenhagen and Malmo.
Worst
LAX - US airports are generally pretty bad but LAX was the worst for me. The plane takes an age to taxi to terminal, baggage was slow, immigration was slow and it's not easy to change terminals
Berlin - Both of them are terrible in their own way for a city like Berlin. I can't wait for the new Brandenburg airport.
Phuket - It's not really that bad but considering that Phuket is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Asia and when you compare it to BKK. Phuket is dire, especially when you get past security.
I'd just like to stick up for Heathrow a little bit. It could be one of the best airports in the world. They just need to build another runway. It's running at 95% capacity so if there is any minor delay it has a knock-on effect and delays all flights that day. A new runway would stop this immediately but UK governments have been putting it off since the 1980's.
Terminal 5 in Heathrow is amazing. It's the quickest airport to get through on arrival in my opinion. It's very well designed.

Wow, you are sheltered. These are decent airports.

CDG the best? Its literally been voted the worst for many many years running.
You must be fucked in the head if you think CDG is good.
>>1285137
Agreed with DFW. Their international terminal is amazing, domestic sucks though
>>1285088
NRT is one of the best airports in the world.
From the point of view of mainly comfy lounges:
>Favorite
Hong Kong
Qatar
Helsinki (comfy for transfers)
Frankfurt (for the 1st class terminal)
>Worst

JFK
CDG

>mfw this is ALL of TBS
I agree it blows.
Best:
London (Terminal 5 specifically), best airport terminal in the country thats the best organised and nicest to get through, never waited long for anything there. Also never feels like a long wait with all the stuff to keep you busy.
Helsinki Airport - Its gotten so much better in the last few years, nice and airy, nobody has an attitude and again easy places to eat. And just like the rest of Finland the free internet in the airport actually works properly.
Iceland Rekj airport, not sure why, just always helpover for layovers, has a good smoking section and knows what it is in the airport game and doesn't push anything else.
WORST
Philadelphia, fuck you, seriously fuck you, what is the lay out and point of this place? No cohesion, no good signs, if you have just landed and don't have reception like i always do for 45 minutes suck a dick. You better agree where to meet beforehand with anyone and be specific as their is no arrivals section and no easy universal meeting point. I fucking hate that place with a passion.
Berlin, both of them, someone mentioned this before, but for airports of a major capital city they treat it like one of your local community airports, Tegel especially hasn't upgraded. Enjoy your vending machine departure gate for 2 hours and nothing else.
Glasgow airport, because I got kicked off a flight, not the airports fault but i'm just negative now about there nostalgically.
Best
ICN
SIN
Worst
JFK
CDG
I have really mixed experiences with all the rest. Like LHR I mostly hate, but every now and then I'm just like, damn, this terminal is actually a decent one. Or MUC mostly annoys me with all the walking, but sometimes things just work out fine.
