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.

SFO: After I landed from TLV and went through security, there was a long hallway going back to the main terminal area. I stopped in an alcove off the hallway (a bunch of supply closets there) and davened Shacharis in time for netz (so I didn't need to worry about a minyan). Although it is a public area, the only people passing were transfers and I wasn't bothered (except for one fellow who passed, did a double-take when he saw me, and promptly produced tallis and tefillin and parked near me).

I really dislike davening in between hundreds of stares or on an plane if it can be avoided.
Why?
Are you embarrassed?
Many Muslims have no problem bowing down during their prayers in the middle of an airport... they aren't embarrassed
Many people look like they escaped from an insane asylums the way they look... They aren't embarrassed...

Where's your Jewish pride*!

It looks like the space has been upgraded
