Well, biggest in terms of size or people?
In terms of SIZE, I'd say Dallas Fort-Worth. I hear thats huge. And worldly, maybe London Heathrow. That place is monsterous.
For people, I'd say for the US, O'Hare, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta. World - Heathrow, Sydney, Paris.
My posts/replies are strictly my opinion and not that of any company, organization, or Southwest Airlines.

King Khalid international Airport in Ryaid, Saudi Arabia..
53 000 Hectares.. DAMM!! Thats like the size of Long Island..! 2 runways both at just over 5km.
Second to that is. uh..

AMS / CDG / NEW INCHON INTERNATIONAL/ Maybe Changi. and..Rome Flumcino.. or New Athens Airport..
MOscows pretty big too.
Business is.. Atlanta, ORD. LHR, JFK, LAX. Narita. CDG, HKG, FRA, SYD and SEL.. or new INchon International.

once i heard that, regarding only size in hectares or square metres, MCO is the fourth biggest airport in the USA. i saw a picture of MCO from the bird perspective and it really seems big.
is this true???
i´ve often been to DFW and it´s certainly huge, and most of the surrounding land belongs to the airport as well, so they could expand it even much more.

Heya, Yes MCO is huge!!!!! I know for sure its the largest airport in Florida. It has tons of room to expand since its way out in the middle of nowhere.
DFW is huge to!!!!! DFW is the largest I have ever been to.

Ok, by area, King Khalid and Jeddah are two of the world's largest airports - both in Saudi Arabia. Denver International is third, and first in the United States. As for Moscow Airport - which one - there are more than 5.
Money does not bring you happiness. But it's better to cry in your own private limo than on a cold bus stop.
