Las Vegas (LAS) Terminal D is a tough act to follow by any standards.

Ellinopedo, when you come from the US, I guess you arrive at Terminal 2 in FRA ? This is really a great one but avoid the old terminal 1 ( where United arrives ), that scares you away from flying.

I have to agree with LBSteve. Orlando (MCO) is very pretty and colorful, unlike so many others. I also love riding that train thing between terminals.

You get your choice of 2 trains at LAS, both of which are a kick to ride. Both originate in the main terminal. One goes to the C gates, the other to the D gates. Also, the monorail at EWR is fun. I killed half an afternoon riding back and forth on that thing.

Believe it or not, YYC was actually voted second in a similiar survey by a travel industry publication a few years ago.

The survey was for North America "only" however.

I also agree with MCO. Orlando is an amazing and very tropical airport.

Seriously I think all airports begin to look alike after awhile, unless it's DEN of course.

I just read an article on Singapore Changi, seems to be an awesome airport. On the domestic USA side, PIT has to be in the top 5, probably next to DEN.

Auckland airport International terminal is a way cool as you make your way to the immigration area after getting off your plane.
Get outside the terminal and it's a bit boring though.
I also like that you can buy duty free stuff as soon as you get off the plane or right as you're getting on the plane with any currency.
Do many other airports offer this convenience ?


OUT!

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) takes the biscuit...lush tropical rainforest built into the airport and extensive use of glass and steel with marble mosaics.

TPA is definitely the best. It is the best airport in the entire world. You can see all types of aircraft there, and Delta might start 777 service. Obviously the best.

ABQ---it is one of the very very few, if not the only one, that captures the atmosphere and setting of the actual city you are in.

Have any of you ever been to BCN?
Great!!!
Pink marble everywhere, clever singns and a huge sculpture from colombian artist Fernando Botero (the one who paints chubby people) in the main hall. I think it just reflects the overall well taste of locals for everythinhg, from interior desing to good food. Just a shame Iberia is not a good airline.

The best one is by far Singapore Changi. I have been to Orlando as well, but SIN is a different planet.

I have been fortunate enough to travel to some of the worlds greatest cities and greatest airport (working for an airline has its advantages!!) and i grant you North America has some cool airports (my favourites that ive been to are Vancouver, Orlando, Miami Terminal A, Denver, JFK Terminal One) .....

HOWEVER.....

The World IS a BIG place!!! The BEST of the BEST are NOT in North America....sorry to say guys!!

My vote goes to...

1. Kuala Lumpur International (amazing rainforest inside the terminal - wow!)
2. Singapore Changi (so calm and user friendly)
3. Copenhagen (very clean and functional)
4. Amsterdam Schipol (the big airport with the small airport feel)
5. Melbourne International (Australia's best airport)

So there you go! I hope you all get a chance one day to check these airports out

Cheers
