TRO Saracen Apr 2016 3:05pm, 5 Apr 2016 12,604 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen JFK is horrible. LA International isn't nice either. The new one at Hong Kong (built on an Island) is cool Quite like Munich as well, you walk through very efficient customs expecting that because you were so quick through they'd be a long wait for your bags, but they come straight through as well. 10-15 mins and you are on your way. Brilliant.

After check in we fancied a coffee, which meant leaving the building, crossing a road and sitting in a taverna.
CStar Apr 2016 3:28pm, 5 Apr 2016 5,607 posts	Quote Pin CStar Tampere Finland. Me, the woman who ran the restaurant/bar and one official. That was it. Not a living soul more. Then there was a riot as the other 3 passengers to Stockholm arrived 5 mins before take off

Then rather chaotic inside the tiny terminal. Though the island is beautiful, so that more than makes up for it. I like Gatwick, but then it is on my doorstep

Velociraptor Apr 2016 4:37pm, 5 Apr 2016 33,652 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor Standing room only and passport control in a thing like a caravan awning, though it did have the merit of not being full of tat-shops.
