Yep... you get out of customs and look around and think "Oh wow!"

Chiang Mai Airport is pretty good if you like pretending you're in a 1950's adventure movie. You'd swear it's still 1955 there!

I've only ever seen Changi and Honk Kong Airport. Both have been rated amongst the best, and it's easy to see why.

Seoul-Incheon is very good, though a looooooooong way from the city. The KAL airport bus is very comfy, with only 3 seats across instead of 4 and heaps of legroom - business class on a bus.

Helsinki is an outstanding airport. It's relatively small, but it works smoothly, it's good to look at, and is a pleasure to use.

Heathrow is appalling, to be avoided at all cost. It is difficult to find anything worthwhile to say about this airport.

JFK in New York is dismal, too.

Athens was surprisingly good at 6am a year ago on a flight from Singapore.

And on the topic of Singapore, it's still one of the very best despite being by far the oldest of the "new generation" of world airports.

I dont mind the domestic terminals in Sydney. As far as domestic terminals go, they're the best.

Brisbane International is pretty good as well, with the exception of the security staff, who are easily the rudest in the country. But otherwise, it has good connections to the city and is a nice place to be (as far as airports go.)

Worst would have to be one of these:

Ho Chi Minh City International: Last time I was there, the place was pretty much falling down around me. Machine failures, power failures, horrible food and chaos during busy times. Not the sort of airport that is a good idea to try and tackle while hungover.

Mexico City: The international terminal is something like a 2Km walk from the metro station. Super expensive as well (even by airport standards.)

LAX: The area where the main carriers fly from is ok, but the area where the budget carriers (Spirit Air etc.) fly from is so old and outdated, it's almost like a third world country.

Changi airport i think is fantastic they have a great smoking area :) and tons of shops etc.
Manchester is great BUT at only 6.30AM nobody there and you get out real fast.
Brisbane international is good and Melbourne Domestic i found yesterday was good went jetstar but when getting something to eat and a bottle of water they were to slow at serving you. geez one would think you had a plane to catch lmao
