Greatest Airports... Worst Airports
Losthellhound posted a journal entry about having to survive LAX and it started a series of comments about airports...
I'd love to hear your best and worst airport stories.
GOOD
Toronto Pearson Terminal 1
Believe it or not, there are a few really well organized airports out there. One of my favourite ones is the new Toronto Terminal 1... It is bright, airy, and easy to navigate... I am sure it will be even better once it is complete. I'm not sure if my love of this Terminal is owning to the fact that the old T1 was pure hell (especially when arriving) that Terminal 2 still sucks or that it can stand proudly with some of the other great airports opened in recent years (I hope it is the latter).
BAD
There are many airports that truly suck. Some suck because they are so utilitarian and drab (Taipei's Chang Kai Chek comes to mind) or convoluted (Chicago O'Hare anyone?)... but for being all that and more I have to vote for the Frankfurt Airport. The question is, when will the renovations ever stop? I have been travelling through this airport for the past 8 years, at least four times a year and it is still under renovations. While I can now figure my way around, it took some time to figure it all out. The airport lounge is nothing special (but they do have gummy bears and a great multivitamin drink on tap).
OK TFP travellers... let's hear yours.
