The Worst "International" Airport?
Surely it must be my recent experiences over the last month at ASB (Ashabat)Turkmenistan. No luggage trolleys. Corrupt, no blatently corrupt officials from the visa desk through immigration, to customs. Want a drink when leaving? Well that will cost you $5 for a coke. Check in? Well yes you can after you have bribed the customs guy, the baggage guy, the X-ray/security guy, and paid well over the odds for your excess bagage, only to discover that the flight you are on is practically empty and I bet the airline doesn't get the money either. Need an aslie seat/window seat? Forget it. But you can if you pay at the check in. Delayed flight? Need details? Forget it. Announcements cannot be made, the info screens don't work. Need a sauna? No problem. It's 50C and the airconditioning doesn't work. A ride to the aircraft, 500 meters from the terminal building? Forget it. Walk. If anyone knows of a worse "International" airport than ASB then I'd love to be able to avoid it. Thanks.
