Airport reviews

New look, new feel.

London’s once-awful airport is Europe’s most improved

If they’d only increased the natural light, this could have been a perfect makeover.

  • David Whitley
Male and its airport island.

Fast food, no booze: This airport doesn’t live up to its luxury locale

It’s an island paradise but its international terminal is dark, dingy and so hot, I have to roll up my “flying” pants.

  • Jenny Hewett
On the way out … Departure Area, Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

Vietnam’s busiest airport has one great feature others should adopt

The queues are horrendous but everyone is in a good mood, helped by the fact that they can still see their loved ones.

  • Belinda Jackson
Check in queues move swiftly.

The small London airport that puts the others to shame

A departure point for easyJet to Europe, London Southend is growing rapidly, taking pressure off other London airports that are fast approaching capacity.

  • Catherine Marshall
It may be tired and sometimes crowded, but the airport does offer spectacular mountain and Beagle Channel views.

Inside the (shabby) airport at the end of the world

This a magnificently located airport, but any sense of wide-open space and adventure is abandoned at the entrance.

An Airbus Beluga landing at Toulouse.

This is the ultimate airport for aviation geeks

Anyone with even a passing interest in planes will be fascinated by the collection of aviation curios that call Toulouse-Blagnac home.

  • Chrissie McClatchy
Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS).

Vegas’ airport doesn’t have much in common with Vegas, except one thing

The main entry point for the glitzy city, the airport doesn’t go for over-the-top Vegas razzle dazzle. But it does contain more than 1000 slot machines.

  • David Whitley
Marseille Airport, France.

This airport aims to have no one wait more than 10 minutes. It succeeds

Marseille in France has more than 10 million passengers a year, but its setup looks well-equipped to handle many more.

  • Justine Costigan
LAX’s revamped Terminal 3 is clean, modern and efficient.

It’s not Changi, but this notorious US airport has improved immensely

The upgrade of LAX’s Terminal 3 has addressed many of the pain points that make flying domestically in the US such a gruelling experience.

  • Rob McFarland
Indoor palm trees are a reminder you’re in the Middle East.

Bring cash to avoid queues, crying kids at this bureaucratic airport

Cairo airport handles 26 million passengers a year. Allow time (and patience) for its lengthy security – better still, bring cash.
