Having traveled extensively in the last few years, I’ve been given several opportunities to see some of the world’s best airports. I have fond memories of sitting on the ergonomic chairs at Paris‘s CDG E terminal, shopping at the gates in Barcelona and enjoying a beer under the vaulted ceiling of JFK. Mind you, I’ve also slept on the hard floors of Geneva, starved in Cairo and gone crazy in Newark, but those are the memories that we try to erase, right?
In tribute to the world’s great airports, Oobject put together a list of the top terminals by design for users to vote on. I say “terminals”, because not all are created equally in the same airport. I am reminded of the beautiful sections of Washington Reagen that 80% of passengers are privy to, while 20% of passengers like myself have to slum it down in the old terminal a half mile away.
Anyway, the top three so far are Seoul, Denver and Madrid, with the voting still in its early stages. If you haven’t been to all of the airports (who has?), take a good look at the architecture and cast your vote. Mine went for Paris, solely on account of terminal E. Right now, my pick has -41 votes.
