    If you like "outdoor" airports, may I recommend Raratonga (Cook Islands) and Pohnpei (Micronesia) :D

    honolulu is another with outside bits most the walkways between terminals/gates are covered but outside.makes a change to have some fresh air at an airport

    Edinburgh is great cos it's easy to get to from where we are and is very quick to get in and out of. Love Montego Bay now it's been done up:)
    CDG is awful. It's so grim and if you make the mistake of going through security too soon, there is absolutley nothing there to occupy the time.
  • The best is the next one I go to for a holiday.
    The one that is trying very hard to become the worst is Bristol, it has been taken over by commercialism, particully Starbucks so there are very few seats or room left.

    Best - Cincainnti :). Also like Philly (got to love them rocking chairs)
    Worst - LAX. Dreadful access. Always queues at security. Nothing to do in terminals.

    No queues if you have an escort - but plenty of dirty looks! ;)
    Gone ... or have I?

    Coventry was best in the UK when it had pax ops. Turn up half hour before your international flight with no worry whatsoever you would miss it. Be out in the car 10 minutes ater landing, even with luggage reclaim.

    The worst, well of he ones I've been to, the Greek Islands. Small airports that were never designed, and are not equipped to handle the entire UK charter fleet in a day!

    ...I kind of like Madrid airport but it's way too big... Liked Dubai airport

    Don't you think Dubai is also a little 'big'? :)

    Favourite: Koh Samui (not keen on Samui but the airport is great :))

    Worst: Paphos. Totally over-crowded and even the airport staff ignored the no smoking signs.

    I've upped my standards...so up yours! :)

    Pathos:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I was stuck in one of those greenhouses (because thats what the departure gates are in Pathos) for at least an hour in a heat wave locked in waiting to get out to the plane.

    It was horrible.

    cant believe only one mention for Paris, has to be the worst airport in the world to pass through. they drop you 20 to 30 mins away from the terminal and then you have the same journey to get to the runway.

    Best one anything thats not paris :)
