| One not mentioned yet is Chenai Intl. Arrived at 11:15, walked up stairs to the lone restaurant and ordered food and a couple of beers. At precisely 12:00 midnight they came to the table informed us they were closed and took the half eaten plates and half empty beers away! Could not believe it. Left with a 7 hour wait for flight to Port Blair without even a soda machine in sight.. BTW the food was terrible and beer was only cool, Ice??? no! Lucky thing Happyman that you missed the trip. E.

| Back in Singers | Heathrow is pretty shit whether you are arriving or leaving. On arrival you have to wait an age for your bags, and on departure you will be lucky if you see your bags again for another week as they go on a world tour. Maybe I am just spoilt by having Changi as my 'home' airport |

| From hearing about an experience someone I know recently suffered through, I would say the LCT (low cost carrier's) terminal at Kuala Lumpur would take the prize. Barely a big shed! |

| Colombo's pretty bad, but Kathmandu's worse. And if you leave there on a Royal Nepal Airlines flight you're in for an even worse time than that spent in the airport. Abu Dabi tops the list of most boring airport for sure, spent many an hour endlessly doing circuits of the place in need of something to do other than look in cigar shops. |

| Krabi | Los Angeles. What's with that bizarre checked baggage screening deal? No signage as such so you queue first to get them scanned. After they x-ray your bags, you have to battle back to the check-in with the skycap where the bags are stacked in 'quarantine'. If you touch them, they go back to be screened again. On arrival, no airline rep available for over an hour to assist the 15 pax who's bags were still in Bangkok. Ashgabat (Turkmenistan). Single passport checker who rejected any used looking dollar bills when paying for visa-on-arrival at 11 PM. Oh yes, they left some pax bags on the plane that continued on to Mumbai or Delhi. But the bra-less barmaid in the departures hall looked great every time she turned around after pulling a beer from the cooler! Atlanta. Delayed departure, last international flight usually departs before 9 PM so when Delta finally gives me my seat back for the 1 AM departure (that's a whole other story), there's nobody downstairs to load our checked bags onboard. Once again, about a dozen people arrive in Rio without their bags.

| Awww. I always had a soft spot for San Francisco airport. I was flying just after the inflight smoking bans were enforced. Got to SF immigration and this cute gay boy was the officer. He was polite and sweet, so I asked him where I could go for a smoke. He just closed his gate (dunno, 20 folks behind me?) and took me to a bar/restaurant and asked the waitress to seat me in the smoking area. That's class. Think I smoked and drank wine for the duration of my morning stopover. Another one that used to p* me off was Anchorage. I think that was the Tokyo-London stopover. Naff food and way expensive. And boring. |

| Back in Singers | Oh I forgot to mention Perth and the distance between the international and domestic terminals. After waiting 45 mins for an inter-terminal bus (not free either) which didnt turn up, so had to bite the bullet and get a cab for almost $40 in order that I didnt miss my connecting flight. |

Strangely, Australia didnt have us clear immig in Sydney (first port of arrival); no smoking lounges nor any way to get landside. Flight to Melbourne still another three hours away. Desperate times call for desperate measures as me ole gran used to say! Quick check of the departure monitor showed the gate from which the next flight to Tokyo would depart. Eureka! says I; no way Japanese tourists won't be allowed a smoking lounge! Went to gate, one of four or so in a cluster. No smoking lounge visible. Mimed to a fidgety japanese man about cigarette; he shrugged his shoulder. Went to the men's room. No one there. Lit up. Minute later in walks a japanese man. Notices me smoking, I grin, he grins, he lights up. Another man walks in, sees the smokefest, joins in. By the time I finished my two, about eight or so Japanese men smoking in there. I think, "Hehehehe, no way the Aussies are going to bust a dozen Japanese for smoking!", then realize I ain't Japanese, so head on out and back to my Melbourne-bound gate. | |

| I will second the LCT at KL...The photo looks good - but turn around & it turns to shite real fast..Crowded & once you go through check in & customs, you can't get good food ,a beer,or a comfortable place to sit.. |
