Airport misery
 
Large airports are what provide the misery factor in flying - hours of anonymous walking, waiting, queueing. Small airports put the fun back into it & lack of security in most make it exciting. Most disgusting probably Liverpool, best beer Antwerp Best food definitely is Pisa.:ok:

Rather surprisingly, there is a very nice bar airside in the international airport in Accra. Unfortunately, they insist that you go and wait in the gates (among the worst airport experiences in the world) very early and won't let you benefit from the good facilities.

Let us not forget that small airports can be just as miserable at big ones. :sad:

For example ... LTN. It used to be Small and great. Now it is pretending to be Medium but it is still Small but has all the hallmarks of Big!

LPL's transformed itself in the last coupla years overloaded, there's even a Burger King now. I hear their Michelin Star got lost in the post though... But the old food wasn't so bad, free use of the defibrillator if you'd had sausage & chips, all good northern fodder me lad... ;)

Speaking of which, my favourite airside eats at LAX is Jody Maroni's in the UAL terminal. You can even eat at the bar - Redondo Beach microbrew, if memory serves. Tasted great at 10am after a trans-Pacific, mmm.
