I have always liked Skyharbor in Phoeniz, despite the "emergency, assume the crash position" landing my plane had to make there... It's a pretty airport - and I recall it being clean (when I was so happy to be on the ground I wanted to kiss the ground)
Sydney, australia had a nice airport -they made a lot of improvements for the Olympics, and when all the Olympics finally left, it was a great airport.
Heathrow I remember being really hot, and I don't remember if it was Heathrow or Gatwick that they didn't open the gate area until 15 minutes before the flight was supposed to leave (so there was no place to sit down and just chill out)
Gatwick - bad experience. Arrived at 1:00am, and found that the taxi cab drivers were on strike, and had to call for a cab from a coin operated pay phone. (I just arrived and had no change) Someone finally took pity on me and called a cab for me, and I sat down to wait, and there was a very drunk person about 5 feet from me, who stood up and the proceeded to spew forth the contents of his stomach into the nearest trashcan. Ewwwww.
Haven't been to Toronto in years, but for a while I was commuting there. It used to annoy me that it was a 50 minute flight from NYC to Toronto - but it never too less than 3 -4 hours to reach my destination -- between the longest taxiway in the world - and customs that was just useless-- it was never a good time.
Detroit =Shudder.. (I've been thru detroit a bunch of times, and each time, my luggage has gotten misdirected.
Columbus, Ohio - Cute little airport, but no decent coffee or really anything once you clear security.. I could make a fortune by putting in coffee kiosks at some of these airports, The shopping in this airport is a hoot - -it's all Ohio State all the time... there was also a store that had a really amazing selection of hot sauces...
