I like EGHI because you can have a beer and actually look at the planes. I thought they were all green*….. It’s when I see them, that I realise why they’re so flicking slow!
HK Airport for me as I can leave my apartment and be airside in 25 minutes.
Singapore’s not bad for a stop-over but I think the sports bar in T1 must be the most expensive beer in Asia, if not the world, its something like 12GBP!
Any airport that has open balconies overlooking jets is good enough for me.
Few and far between nowadays sadly but Gatwick used to have an open roof deck right in amongst the noise and smell and Jo’burg had balconies that where in line with the cockpit windscreens of 747’s.
In the UK, London City or Edinburgh
In Europe, Zurich, or Venice Marco Polo
In the US, Jackson Hole. DFW isn’t bad though. I cannot understand how BA tolerate JFK T7 being so shitty.
I have been in way too many airports, agreed on most being ugly, Heathrow being the most unpleasant I can think of. Some are spectacular, Wellington, Madrid, Singapore. some down right weird. All are dramatically improved with business class lounges. My favourites are now the small ones though some of those are worse than bus stations. Little airfields are great, White Waltham, Oaksey Park, Wickenby, quite a few others..
