The Worlds Worst Major Airport?

[Bored Traveller]

Is anybody else as sick of LAX as me? Particularly the Tom Bradley Terminal.

- The endless lines that actually spill onto the street
- The airline lounges that don't even have bathrooms
- No real shopping
- Drab decor
- Incredibly confusing security

I think Miami may come a close second, but I'd like to hear other people thoughts.

I felt about the same about JFK New York as y say about LAX. Don't know about the long queue as we had a connecting flight, but the bathrooms were rare to be found an dirty, not a lot of shopping possibilites, no real bar for a drink (comfortable if you have to hang around for 4-5 hours). It's not an airport I very much look forward to of visiting agian.

LAX is just terrible, and I agree with you 100%. JFK is also pretty pathetic. Miami international? Argh ... another crappy one.

Ha!...I think you've hit all three of the nasty ones.
The American Airlines dometic area at JFK is not bad, but the international departure area (T8 if I recall) is like a dungeon.

Lucky for me all my international departures from LAX have not been out of TBIT....not that AA's T4 is anything to get excited about.

Miami? <<shudder>>

I used LAX a number of times over the years, and this is one airport that I always had tough time killing time. Not that LAX is the worst airport in the world; many airports are unfortunately even a lot worse. However, LAX is presumably one of more important international airports, and given that, the airport is poorly designed and poorly operated.

Brilliant - I wondered why I couldn't get up to the lounges a few weeks ago and they were trying to bus me to somewhere that looked like it was in the runway. Bring on the renovations!!!

The worst airport in my book is Frankfurt just the plain layout of this airport is wrong. Not to mention where are the freaking toilets where are the shops (and i don't mean the one or two at close to your gate.

Just the thought that this is a reasonable new airport makes you think

Ah...just had an email from a friend getting ready to depart for Paris. I forget that a big pit of an airport is Washington Dulles.

I hate Heathrow.... absolutely hate it. You fly in on a local flight then get on a bus that drives you 30 miles around the outside of the airport to drop you at a door from where you then walk a further 3 miles to the transfer area, only to have to walk another couple of miles to your next gate, from where you get driven 31 miles back to the plane you parked next to when you landed....
