I travelled thru LAX, SFO, OAK, OGG, HNL on honeymoon and was impressed with them all. Then came back to the UK thru LHR, what a dump in comparrison. The first impression of the UK for foreign visitors is this s**t hole!, great first impression - not! Dark, smelly, dirty, couple of areas i was scared - thought i was gonna get mugged.
On a seperate rant, the United Airlines cabin crew were the worst i've came across too.

Having had extensive eexperience operating from Brize Norton I can say that it is an awful place as far as pax handling goes. I have also had to endure the check in the night before (and the blasted Gateway House) in a previous incarnation. RAF movers and their jobsworth attitudes are probably the stickiest ointment that the fly ends up in! Idiots, the lot of them!

Indeed... in the real world they're called baggage handlers and paid the market rate.
In another place they're given a Hitler Youth armband ('MOV') and...!

Unlike Dada I have actually been in the departure building at Coventry and found it was much more comfortable than a freight shed with excellent staff too. The worst airport I have been to must be T1 LHR ! Miami comes a close 2nd!

Radarcontrol,
The public transport is actually quite good at Humberside..frequent(hourly) stagecoach services to Sheffield, HULL and Grimsby. Also a railway station at Barnetby @1 mile from airport perimeter.
Sandwiches are no more expensive than any other airport. Catering has been improved recently and choice of shops reflects size of airport.
I would actually rate HUY 1st of the airports I've used(others being LGW/LHR/STN/BHX/MAN/LBA/GLA/PIK/EDI/ABZ).
