The world's worst airports

Which airports are the worst in the world seems like an impossible question. Airports, at the best of times, are soulless waiting rooms. At the worst times, they are mazes of frustration and tiredness, full of people who don't want to be there. There are, however, a few stand out cases in which airports are so horrendous, that they've earned a reputation of being systematically loathed by the world's population.

The world's most hated airport, perhaps, is Los Angeles Airport (LAX). If you are transferring from a domestic to an international flight, you have to exit one building, only to enter a second, and put up with all that same security all over again. And it gets much worse when you consider the vastly overpriced food, and the distinct lack of clean places to rest and wait.

Another shining example of a rubbish terminal is the "Paris" Beauvais Airport in France. This building lies around 50 miles north of the capital, which makes leaving it a much more difficult task than it should be, especially in the absence of a rail link. The airport also closes over night, so if you find your flight being too delayed, you may have to sleep on the lawn! To make matters worse, the building resembles a glorified tent, and there is a distinct lack of services.

Most of the airports at New York get a bad press, but perhaps it is Newark Airport terminal B that gets the worst of it. This is for several reasons. Firstly, it is the nation's worst airport for on-time arrivals, meaning you're bound to be waiting around for yours. Secondly, they put the security before individual piers in Terminals A and B, meaning that you won't have any services to entertain you.

Airports are supposed to be boring, so that they go unnoticed. It therefore is a hard question as to which ones are worse. However, as should be clear from the above, there are some particularly bad standout cases.
