ADD - Wonderful fully-stocked Chabad shul in the international departures area.
AMS - Further down along the gates there are a bunch of little secluded areas hiding behind shops and restaurant.
BRU - There are 2 Shuls, 1 in each terminal. follow kneeling signs. In the Schengen terminal it is next to the lounges. In the Non-Schengen you go up a floor over the plaza, and its at the far end.
CRL - Charleroi (Brussels South) Airport: at gate 13, take elevator/stairs to - 2 and proceed left where you find many enclaves where you could pray quietly.
FRA - Shul - (may be before or after security ((maybe near gate 96)).
JFK - Shul - T4 second floor all the way to the left only, before security.
KEF - Keflavik, Iceland: After customs, make a left right before the BSI ticket counter and go down the stairs. Make another left and you'll find a great, quiet space mostly hidden from view by the staircase.
MDW - still have old phone booths where you sit away from the crowds
TLV - 2 Shuls - one after security next to the Beit Chabad. One one flight up from the arrivals hall.

Phonebooths work great in many airports.

PIT:  Airside, up the escalators towards the AA lounge.  Wide open seating in the hallways outside the lounge, rarely anybody there.  Nice and quiet.

There's a shul after customs, one flight up, near the rental car counters.
After the PCR, reenter the building and take the escalator up one lever to rental cars. Due to the PCRs, I don't beleive that there is elavator access.
Mincha/Maariv, find a quiet corner in baggage claim.

This thread should get more attention.

I really dislike davening in between hundreds of stares or on an plane if it can be avoided.

Last time I was in TLV, the flight had landed in the early afternoon on a Thursday. Some fellow schlepped together a minyan and they leined the shacharis leining, then davened mincha.
