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.
Bliss to a teenager 🙂
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.
MME 😀
Ivalo, Finland. A tiny place with fantastic reindeer pie. You can see the door out to the plane from the check-in desk.
Hong Kong is nice, especially as they have a relaxation room away from the gates which do 30 min massages for $25.

About the only redeeming feature of ATL!

And Swee****er 420 on tap....
Of the frequently visited ones my favourite is Schiphol.
Doha is completely different if you go from the squalour of the hoi pilloi area to the business lounge.
The OP's fave Oslo is nice and clean but the smallest snack will cost you a mint and every transfer seems to involve a massive trek.

Airports you Like
Dubai coz I can shop and see weird people. 😆
Brunei airport coz I can walk out to the nearest food stalk for good traditional food.
Oh ya Royal Brunei Airline is amongst the best airline in the world. I would fly them but they only fly from Heathrow.
KLIA coz it just so South East Asia ...
Borneo airport coz I am home ... 🙂
the hoi pilloi
Yeah, but writing 'the pilloi area' looked weird 🙂

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..
