JFK, LAX and CDG (or is it LHR)? The rest are (pretty much) off the beaten path.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

+1 good point. I was just in San Diego airport and they have the arrivals area before the departure area. so when you get there for your flight you have to wait in traffic behind all the people being picked up to get to the check in desk. That has got to be one of the dumbest thing any airport could do...

I think LGA, will give any airport a run for their money (Although the Africa ones look real bad)

I thought I would need to fly via an African airport (don't remember which one), which advices you on their site that you should drink a lot while on a stopover to avoid dehydration.

I guess that tells us something about the AC in the airport (if any).

They were dead on with PER. I've waited 2 hours there at customs. You can bring a bomb in as long as its not made of fresh produce

I believe that the BRU schengen terminal, if not that balanced with terminal 2, would also score pretty good in this list.

The distances that needs to be covered, and the different elevations and floors are unforgivable for an airport that has not so many flights.

My friends and I nicknamed it the yemachshemoi-terminal.
