Large World Airports

Is it just me or are some of the world’s biggest/busiest airports the most boring place to be compared to Heathrow. On a recent trip to the states we returned on AA and used JFK’s terminal 8. I find it hard to believe that such a large airport has a smaller duty free than Cardiff airport. This means that it takes you 5 minutes to look around and then all you can do is sit at the gate and wait. There isn’t even somewhere to sit down and have something to eat. I also found the same with terminal 1 at Charles de Gaulle airport. One small duty free shop and the departure gate.

Now compared to Heathrow where you are spoiled for choice for shopping as well as eating, what other large airports are pathetic?
