I've got a new one to add under the worst airports (from a pilot's perspective):
Nassau, Bahamas. The place was totally messed up with one runway being torn up and only one left for the planes. The ground controllers are cool though and really good about getting you out of there fast, once you get started after your 40 minute wait to taxi. The approach controllers on the other hand were totally incompetent. All the sequencing done to our little planes was horrible. We were either given 10 miles spacing between us and the jet before (10 miles = 7 minutes) or they put planes way too close, such as 1 mile between us and a 767 behind us or 1/4 mile for the 737 departing in front of us. Can't beat the view though.
Edit: Toronto City Centre now makes my best airport list. Everybody is so friendly and customs is awesome. The downtown area is less than a stone's throw away from the airport and the only problem is fuel is so expensive!
