| What's Your Favourite Airport? | Started by: Word_Smith on Sep 21, '22 17:36 |

I like London City because it's actually in London. New York Stewart is like a lego building with an airfield attached. I like that one too. Mostly I don't like airports though. They're quite serious places and I can't discuss mafia on the phone with people without attracting funny looks. What's your favourite airport? |

Honestly for me is about efficiency and quickly getting through an airport, so Warsaw Modlin airport and Zaragoza Airport are great for me, they don't have much to offer shop/bar wise, but are small airports with limited traffic, less delays and less issues that way and also in warsaw modlins case only had to be there 45 minutes to an hour before the flight and took about 15 minutes entering airport to gate. |

| My local airport in Akron, Ohio, USA is amazing. It’s big enough that you can get commercial flights to anywhere in the country, but small enough that it’s not super busy and easy to navigate without getting lost. A bonus is that the TSA isn’t overly suspicious there, so you’ll probably avoid the cavity search. Unless you’re into that sort of thing. | |

I don’t know.
small ones with not a lot of people. I can tell you what’s not my favourite airport - Orlando. That place might be the most unorganized airport I’ve seen. Just scary bad. |

Haven't been too many. Schiphol would be nice, but you can't smoke anywhere, so in the bin it goes. Also, it's incredibly chaotic these days. Luton is a bit middling. Ohrid St. Paul The Apostle Airport, though not very impressive has a nice name, so it's gotta be my favourite. |

| Funny that you would say that about the Orlando airport, Uncle. I was just talking to my mother the other day, who lives just an hour north of Orlando, and she was getting ready to fly out to San Diego to see my sister. She went on and on bitching about the Orlando airport and said she would rather drive all the way up to Atlanta just to avoid flying out of there. | |

I've only been to a few airports that aren't in the US, so my favorite one (as a kid at least) was the Denver International Airport. I have no idea how actually "good" the airport is, but I always looked forward to landing there as they have long conveyor belts to bring you to your gate. My sister and I would entertain ourselves for hours running up and down these belts, weaving in and out of other travelers. Good times for sure. |

| I haven‘t been to an airport for almost two years now. But back in the tima when I travelled the world I liked the one in Singapore. Or the one in Doha. | |

| Mykonos Airport - a bit of tarmac, a luggage belt, a bar that sells daquaris and a security guard who didn’t bother to wake up to see our passports | |

Been a while since I flown. But been to a few that I would rather avoid. Instabul in Turkey and Heathrow to name two. Modern places but man you need hiking boots to get to the gates and/or a picnic to take along. That '2hours before flight' thing they say to allow you time to get through all is cutting it fine! Gatwick on the other hand is more of a 'Squareish' airport so it isn't forever long corridors that go on and on. |

| I will be honest I don’t think I have one! I’ve only been inside one! And that was in Texas when I was very small. Well I guess two because we had to have a destination. I honestly don’t even remember where that was though… so yes! I’ve been inside one when I was very small and outside one just to pick up someone and that was very chaotic. All this to say I don’t think I like airports much at all. | |

Doha and Singapore come to mind immediately, they're both extremely impressive and easily two of the best airports I've been through. Paris is also very nice. Conversely, all of my worst airport experiences come from the US. |

I absolutely LOVE people watching at terminal 5 at Ohare airport. Its the international one. The reason it's so fun to watch people is they always come out in some weird daze after being on a plane for hours on end, like they don't really understand whats been going on in their lives. Plus terminal 5 is just an absolute shithole of a terminal with a terrible Mcdonalds and then like 1 little shop that sells suitcase locks and adaptors for plugs. Its a magical experience. |

My all time favorite airport has to be in Key West, FL. That little sucker is so tiny that you'd have to be blind to get lost in! There's hardly any people to bother you, and the TSA lines are shorter than my patience! |

I haven't been to that many, but always love landing in San Diego. Feels like you're dropping right down into the city. |
