Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by Hunter(m): 10:25pm On Mar 22, 2006
Haven't been to many of those airports but reading around the net syktrax (the people who publish the list) aren't exactly the most reliable source, very bias apparantly.

Sydney doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 either its clean and everything but has a really really really bad layout, you have to catch a bus to get from international to domestic,
Melbourne on the other hand you don't, its just as clean but doesn't have you catching a stupid bus :s

Singapore Changi is ok, Dubai airport is over-rated though

Best i've been to is singapore.Its just too f**king good.Red carpet escorts u everywhere you go within the airport building.Do u knw how that feels for us ordinary ppl??F**king good
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by naijarikan(m): 9:53pm On May 04, 2006
I've been through the following:

Murtala (Lagos)
Aminu (Kano)
Heathrow (London)
Charles De Gaulle (Paris)
Zurich
Schiphol (Amsterdam)
Accra (Ghana)
O'Hare (Chicago)
Midway (Chicago)
Toronto (Canada)
JFK (New York)
La Guardia (New York)
BWI (Baltimore)
Metro (Detroit)
Dallas-Forthworth (Texas)
Newark (New Jersey)


Schiphol would be my best pick with O'Hare a close second. London Heathrow would be my pick for the clumsiest in terms of navigating.

Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by dblock(m): 12:26am On Sep 26, 2006
the asian airports are the best, its like heaven, go changi go kansai go hong kong airport but the manila airport sucks
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by iice(f): 5:32am On Sep 26, 2006
Hong Kong (used to like the old one although its location was a bit dangerous) the new one's really nice. Love heathrow definitely my favorite, also love Schiphol and Aminu. Charles du Gaulle is ok too. As for the others they dont really stand out to me.

@anyone applicable (you know who you are)

Why mention your best airport when you've never left your village ever ? We are not talking about an airplane
(the one that flies in the sky)  don't be confused, please

Yeah i almost missed my flight too once, i was lost and when i finally found my way i had to hurry up, i was running and it seemed i would never get to the gate to board but thankfully i made it just in time.

Who said Charles De Gaulle (Paris) is one of the best? That's the worst airport ever. Terrible. I hate it. And those French people, Don't get me started.
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by ToddTerry: 10:27pm On Sep 26, 2006
The biggest in the world is the new Bangkok International set to open in 3 days.  The old one was ok i thought.   But I agree Schipol is by far the best and HK is also very good.  Frankfurt is not so good, and I don't like Heathrow.  in the US, Houston Intercontinental is by far the best, very clean and friendly peeps, with O'Hare second.  Atlanta is not very convenient, too big and far for connections (many people miss their connections here so avoid it because the US airlines dont care) and Miami airport is very old and ugly.  LAX is a zoo, and most of the other US airports will give you a very hard time when you show a naira passport.  This why Dallas airport does not make the list because they have racist immigration, even though the airport is very nice.  Singapore would be better except they try to scare you by telling you will be executed if you have drugs before you land.  that is a little over the top.
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by Wandungu(m): 8:43am On Nov 25, 2006
My favourite would be: i. Schipol(Amsterdam)
ii. Perth International(perth, W.Australia)
iii. Prague International(prague, Czech Rep.)
iv. Hartsfield Jackson(Atlanta, GA.)
v. Oliver Tambo International(Johannesbourg, SA)
vi. LAX( LA, California)
vii.MMIA -Lagos.
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by culasi(m): 10:28pm On Dec 14, 2006
My Favorite would be Schipol in Amsterdam.
Then Detriot, MSP, ATL, LAX, LHR, CDG. smiley
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by culasi(m): 10:33pm On Dec 14, 2006
LOS sucks. Too much touts

KAN. This is the worst airport in nigeria. It has alot of wooden cubicles and there is no A/C in the terminals. This is my own opinion. It looks deserted and there are alot of mosquito in the lounge. Can you imagine some of the mosquito followed the plane to Amsterdam airport even after the flight attendants sprayed mosquito repellent in the plane.
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by gaby(m): 11:09am On Dec 15, 2006
Schipol Amsterdam is cool,
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by awolumate(m): 1:47am On Dec 21, 2006
I have been to about 21countries and i can tell you that hk internationl airport is a wonderland and deserve the rating(i go through hk 4times in a year on average) and i have been to Singapore 3times, men the singapore Changi airport is another masterpiece.
These two airports are great and schipol is the best in Europe.
Along,the worst Airport i,ve ever been through is Kathmandu Int.Airport.It could be compared to a shop in alaba with just three counters.You can imagine the lines on arrival and they give visas ob arrival.The last time i was there.,I spent good 2hours on the lane but the country worth a visit sha.The home of the himalayas,
Murtala sef no bad oooooooooooo eh eh,i was in lagos in july and immigrations dey ask me wetin i bring ,customs sef dey obtain, Nija,i love that country.
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by Gamine(f): 8:54am On Jan 01, 2007
Dubai international airport is tite oooh, man u gota go there, jst connect a flite frm nigeria
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by LondonCool(m): 9:23pm On Feb 24, 2007
My pick is
Dubai Int.Airport-UAE (best Immigration process/best duty free shops)
Charles de Gaule-Paris (one of the largest)
Schipol-Amsterdam (quite good for transiting)
London City Airport (easy access into London)
Freetown (Lungi)- (rugged-reminded me of 'Blood Diamonds')
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by dblock(m): 8:00am On Feb 25, 2007
you didn't meantion, Kansai, Changi or Chap Lok
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by blackky100(m): 3:14pm On Feb 26, 2007
Schipol-Amsterdam but their immigration officer can be some how. They are not friendly expecially when the air is from Nigeria. beside that Schipol is cool.
Re: Best Airports You Have Been To? by tipsy289(m): 12:06am On Apr 24, 2008
All the ones have been too, they are all the same, nothing special except Schipol was good(but once you go to the airport once thats it nothin cool again)
from Lagos to Newark airport,same in my eyes.i'm sure the asian ones and persian gulf airports will be crazy though
