Airports from HellEverybody has got their ‘Airport from Hell’ story to tell.
I got so mad with the way an airline in one airport abused its customers that we organized the passengers, called the local TV station, gave a press interview and when I finally got home I commenced a protest blog.
The web site Sleeping in Airports has given ordinary people a voice with which to evaluate airports and warn other customers. It is mainly focused on the sleepability of airports but the reviews reveal something wider—often the need for sleep is created because of delays and the lack of any accommodation offer by an airline experiencing a delay.
Worst Airports
Melbourne’s Herald Sun has helpfully created this picture gallery of the Worst Airports to Sleep In. It counts down from #10 to the airport that gets the wooden spoon.
This article in the Herald Sun (21 July 2009) has a little more description of these worst airports.
Best Airports
Check out the list on this link of the Best Airports, read the reviews and see why people love these places.
You can even submit a review, cast your vote or send a photo. This is a case of power to the people.
The lists change each year and maybe this web site is helping to create positive change in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
