airport is pretty swanky.

I'm going to Heathrow, NOW.

My favourite is Dubai International as it's massive but easy to navigate through AND there's countless duty-free shops.

The worst one I've been to is Nairobi. I can't remember much about it though.

THERE WAS A DINOSAUR IN THE DEPARTURE LOUNGE

worst = Luton
because it's in Luton

worst turin or heathrow

That's a bit sad, cometo think of it...but anyway.

All the London ones are shite, except Heathrow terminal 3 (I think I mean 3) because it has Giraffe so you can eat pancakes before your flight.

Lima airport is probably the coolest I've been to, 1) because it's in Lima, 2) because it's clean and spacious and has fun shops.

worst = either a) New Orleans. thanks, you grotty shithole. all i needed when i'm stranded overnight is nowhere to lie down (all the seats have fucking metal arm rests) and for you to play tinny jazz music ALL FUCKING NIGHT

or b) Chicago O'Hare, because they're disorganised arseholes who left me waiting there for about fourteen hours after letting my flight back to Heathrow leave without me. grrrr.

Worst = Hong Kong, as it's the biggest roofed space in the world and you don't realise how long it's gonna take you to get across

because it's 'pure dead brilliant' and has a Peckhams. I agree about CDG :@ i got searched there and shouted at in French for something i didn't understand. Also, my sister got given the wrong directions by the airport staff and missed her connecting flight and then lost her luggage.

It's claustrophobic and 70s and shit.

Stanstead is alright, it's airy and what I'd expect from an airport. The immigration bit when returning is shite though. DO NOT WANT.

is cool. it has one runway, which is dangerously close to the sea and everyone in the airport is very mean looking and there are lots of army people until you cross the passport control and then it's all smiles and baklava.

for having an 'english' pub called The Elephant & Castle that sells strongbow and shows ice hockey.

was sweet, they had an old prop-plane hanging from the ceiling and the Finnish-english accent is almost idnetical to American. It's also quite small, I liked it.

Dubai Airport is absolutely massive, they have supercars you can win in a raffle! It also has some of the best duty free on earth.

Worst Airport? Humberside, it's like some forgotten airstrip and KLM seem to be the only airline that use it.

is amazing. It's covered in really cheesey floral carpets and gold fixtures and has free internet everywhere and incredible air-conditioning (stepping outside of the terminal is like walking right into a really clammy sauna, so air-con <3)

And free massage machines.

because it was designed by Richard Rogers and is just a remarkably beautiful space to be in and generally feels like something out of the future: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Barajas_interior6.jpg

Worst: Luton because it's in Luton and there's always fucking roadworks on the M1 and all around the airport so it takes an age to get there despite only being 40 odd miles away.

no?

Because there is an absolute lack of shops and cafes there. And it is tiny.

There is nothing to do there...I tried to get on the internet there but it didn't work on any of the computers, so I ended up blowing all my spare crown on presents for my family, which, at Norwegian prices and in an airport is not a good idea.

out of all of the ones i have been to, terminal 2 is the best.

worst - stansted, but maybe i'm biased.

singapore and fiji. Fiji because they had a band playing as we stepped out the plane which was kinda cool and they didnt seem to care much for security and singapore was alright for spending ages in because you ad internet n stuff.

for the ammount of footballers ive "met" there. I stood next to dider drogba in the carpark, and got crespo to sign my ticket the year before. when i asked if he thought they were going to win the champions league, he replied "liverpool are looking good". he was right.

Heathrow is rather shit and has become more so in recent years.

Delhi was nice.

I generally like airports even if I'm not traveling myself. I look at the planes.

But here's my thoughts on airports off the top of my head.

Cardiff - closest to home so the easiest to get to and back from.

Koh Samui, Thailand - picturesque, it looks like some kind of Playmobil Jungle Airport playset.

Heathrow - the only place i've ever drank Starbucks, and the breakfast was ridiculously expensive (and not particularly nice).

Gatwick - flight got in about 4 hours before my train back to cardiff and before anything seemed to be open. Tried to sleep on some uncomfortable chair but kept getting woken up by cleaners.

Crete - the runway's right by the edge of the water, which is a little scary when you think you're just descending into the sea.

Bangkok - the descent makes you realise how fucking massive Bangkok is.

Newfoundland, Canada - refuelled on the way to Florida. There was snow! For some reason we ate ice cream.

As it was pretty much a bus stop.

THAT'S how to be both big and awesome.

Newcastle Airport is actually really good too.

Worst airports: Turin, Marseilles (although the descent is AMAZING), Durham Teesside (literally a shack in the middle of nowhere, really bleak).

I like airports because of the excitement and sense of infinite possibility associated with them.

but best airport ever is singapore changi

havent been there for a few years, but have passed through half a dozen times. very fast access into teh city, free internet, free phone chargers, a special area with mini cinema, properly relazing seats, swimming pool, everything. and it's well laid out. and getting through immigration / baggage is very fast. love that airport - it just WORKS.

it's the only one I'ver ever been too, but I actually love it.

Everything's absolutely massive.

And Rhodes Diagoras airport is like, utter shit.
