The Best and Worst Airports In The World - 2015

[VALKRYIE]

VERY few of us enjoying being stuck in the airport because our plane has been delayed or worse, cancelled.

But if you’re planning on travelling soon, you might want to avoid the airports that are considered the worst of the worst.

SleepinginAirports.net, a popular website about airports and the people who sleep in them, has released its annual ranking of the world’s worst airports.

This year, Nigeria’s Port Harcourt International Airport has been given the title of the worst airport in the world.

The travel study surveyed over 26,000 international flyers.

Travellers were asked to rate their experience on factors such as the airport’s services and facilities, terminal cleanliness, customer service and comfort.

Travellers who actually slept in the airport were also able to rate the terminal on its “sleepability”.
Nigeria’s Port Harcourt, which is located in Omagwa, a suburb of Port Harcourt City in Rivers State, took the top worst spot due to its lack of seating, unhelpful staff, consistently broken air-conditioning and allegedly corrupt staff.

But if you happen to be flying through the Omagwa hub, don’t despair.
“The good news is that some areas of the terminal have been recently renovated, meaning you can expect actual walls, floors and windows,” says the website.

In SleepinginAirports’ ranking of the best airports in the world, Singapore’s Changi International Airport took out the top spot.

South Korea’s Seoul Incheon International Airport and Japan’s Tokyo Haneda International Airport were ranked second and third respectively.

The only Australian airport to make the list was Adelaide International Airport in the 29th spot.

The website also broke down the best and worst airports by regions.
New Zealand’s Wellington Wellington International Airport took out the number one position in the best of the South Pacific list, while Sydney International Airport took out the 7th spot.

When it comes to sleeping in airports, Singapore’s Changi International Airport was ranked number one.

NAIA still 8th worst airport in Asia, says travel site
Manila airport has improved but much still needs to be done, says guide

By: Jeannette I. Andrade
Philippine Daily Inquirer
05:56 PM October 19th, 2015

MANILA, Philippines — From the world’s worst, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has somewhat improved but is still the 8th among Asia’s terrible 10.

The 2015 list of worst Asian airports released over the weekend in the “Guide to Sleeping in Airports” website saw the Port Harcourt International Airport in Nigeria taking over the world’s worst title that the NAIA consistently held from 2011 to 2013.

Based on the review of travellers surveyed by the website, which offers tips to budget-minded flyers, what has kept the NAIA in the list is the challenge posed by moving between terminals.


The guide cited an observation by one traveller on the scarcity of shuttle buses, which were stuck in hour-long traffic between terminals, and the unavailability of taxis causing long passenger queues.

The website said “Rehabilitation efforts have helped decongest and clean up terminal 1, and the introduction of things like the Wings Transit Lounge in Terminal 3 have helped make things more comfortable, albeit for a price.”

“That said, things like leaking ceilings in Terminal 1 and collapsing floors in Terminal 2 show there is still room for improvement,” it pointed out.

“Passengers remain annoyed by the poor customer service, the long queues, the sub-par food selection, the lack of restrooms and the crowded seating areas. There is definitely a long way to go but we’re thrilled to see improvements come along bit by bit,” it concluded.

The survey, which is based on the “overall airport experience,” including the friendliness of airport workers, terminal facilities and services, cleanliness, and comfort, of travellers listed the Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport in Nepal as Asia’s worst.

The airport was described to resemble “a bus station” and was said to have restrooms in a poor state. But the website cited recent events that could have affected the facility such as the earthquake that devastated the country in April.

Other airports in the website’s worst 10 list include the Tashkent International Airport in Uzbekistan; the Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan; the Ho Chi Minh City Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport in Vietnam; the Islamabad Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Pakistan; the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in China; the Chennai (Madras) international Airport in India; the Dhaka Shahjalal International Airport in Bangladesh; and the Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport in Sri Lanka.

Taking over NAIA’s status as the world’s worst, Port Harcourt International Airport, the survey result alleged “should also win the the title of most corrupt airport in the world.”

It claimed, “The terminal’s unpleasant and unhelpful staff help to earn it this trifecta of atrocious awards. With virtually no seating, broken air-conditioning and a tent for an Arrivals Hall, it was a struggle for many voters to pass the minimum required amount of time here.”

It did cite as good news recent renovations undertaken on the terminal.

Ranked as the best airport in Asia and in the world is the Changi International Airport in Singapore.

The Guide to Sleeping in Airports started in 1996 and is the brainchild of Donna McSherry. It was previously titled the “Budget Traveller’s Guide to Sleeping in Airports,” and was initially made up of McSherry’s airport sleeping tips and reviews on the airports in Dublin, Frankfurt, and Geneva.

The website started to grow when other travellers started contributing their reviews as well as useful and practical information on the world’s airports. SFM

BEST AIRPORTS IN THE WORLD, 2015
1. Singapore Changi International Airport, Singapore
2. Seoul Incheon International Airport, South Korea
3. Tokyo Haneda International Airport, Japan
4. Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, Taiwan
5. Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong

Have been to 4 out of the top 5, truly excellent airports!

It's not just about the hardware, not about the tech, these are only basics, it's about the comprehensive and thoughtful services that passengers can experience. In this regard, even overall airport management, we still have a lot of reforms to do before closing gap with peers in East Asia.

This airport is not part of the top five list.

The worst airport for sleeping is Reykjavik international airport as the airport security will wake you up. Yes even if you sat there and close your eyes for five minutes.
