Yesterday I had a flight from Berlin to Moscow and, while I was waiting for the departure, I have decided to conduct a small investigation in airports ratings and to find out the most loved/hated ones and the reason for that. These ratings might be very useful for travelers :)

According to CNN, world’s most loved airports are:

10. Auckland Airport, Auckland, New Zealand

9. Montevideo Carrasco, Montevideo, Uruguay

8. Victoria International, Victoria, Canada

7. Zurich Airport, Zurich, Switzerland

6. Tampa International, Tampa, United States

5. Ushuaia-Malvinas Argentinas International, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

4. Munich Airport, Munich, Germany

3. Seoul Incheon, Seoul, Korea

2. Singapore Changi, Singapore

1. Hong Kong International, Hong Kong, China

However, most #1 loved airport is the busiest freight airport in the world, it is one of the most accessible in operations today due to express services to/from downtown, remote check-ins for cargo carriers. Moreover, it has lounging, golfing, fine-dining, 4-D movie theater, etc. for travelers.

As for me, now it is really interesting to visit airport in Munich which is #4 and to discover it! :)

In contrast, here is the list of world’s most hated airports, according CNN research:

10. São Paulo-Guarulhos International, São Paulo, Brazil

9. Perth Airport, Perth, Australia

8. Tribhuvan International, Kathmandu, Nepal

7. John F. Kennedy International, New York, United States

6. Jomo Kenyatta International, Nairobi, Kenya

5. Ninoy Aquino International, Manila, Philippines

4. Toncontín International, Tegucigalpa, Honduras

3. London Heathrow, London, England

2. Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles, United States

1. Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris, France

Surprisingly, the most hated airport is in Paris. The reasons for that are the following: grimy washrooms, broken scan machines, lack of signage and gate information screens, dismissive and indifferent staff and so on. CNN strongly does not recommend using it for transfer, only if you want to visit wonderful Paris!
