    Best one from an architectural point of view is Oslo that I've been through. That wooden beamed superstructure is awesome. Most underwhelming has to be TokyoNarita imo.

    Most underwhelming for me was Ciampino airport south of Rome, the one Ryanair flies into. It actually looks derelict from the outside. I think its an old military airport.

    Favourite airports I’ve landed in: Lisbon which is right in the city, the approach flies over the city centre and Keflavik International in Iceland, like landing in a lunar landscape.

    Way more than I thought - 49. Worst by a mile was Buenos Aires. Queue after queue after queue - a model of inefficiency. Took 3 hours from once we landed until we got into a taxi.

    The airport is your first impression of any city or country. It should be a good experience. I feel sorry for non EU passengers at immigration in Dublin. Massive queue always.

    I think it's kinda interesting to see where other peoples feet have landed:pac:

    I know what you are saying.

    None of the airports listed in the posts above that I am familiar with are places I'd chose to be in again all things being equal. Sure,'some are better than others but even the best fail to offer a pleasant experience to travellers.

    The airlines for the most part don't help either.

    I think for most people these days air travel is more something to be endured rather than enjoyed.

    About 65 in total. Didn't fly until I was 26, but that first flight was Manchester to Barbados

    Visited Tom Bradley, Ronald Regan and John Wayne, plus another 10 or so US airports. Also had a trip to John Lennon, but alas no George Best

    Reckon I've used about 17 airports in Britain, but only 1 in Ireland

    Only one in Africa (Sharm el Sheikh) one in Asia (Singapore), one in Australasia (Melbourne), and two in the Indian Ocean (Seychelles and one of its islands). A couple in South America (Sao Paulo & Buenos Aires), 4 in the Caribbean with the rest across Europe

    Built up over three-quarters of a million Avios points over the past 20 years or so. Hopefully I'll live to spend them (should get me a few business class returns to the other side of the World)

    Not typing mine in, would take too long, however according to the ever handy TripIt app, in 2017 i did:

    98278 miles
    14 Countries
    32 Cities
    9 days in the air
    3.95 times around the world.

    Goal for 2018?
    At least 75% down on all those numbers.

    Lovely city. You're going just before peak time so this advice might not be needed but any sights you really want to see, go early. Like 9am or earlier if possible.

    They do that all the time in the Aviation & Aircraft forum. Very off-putting for the casual reader like myself, I always get the feeling it's done deliberately to be exclusionary.

    You hardly need to be a cryptographer to figure them out or look them up.
