The Worst and Best airport in the world

As New York has enjoyed a lengthy run as one of the world's favourite cities, some may be shocked at the news that its JFK airport has been voted the worst by travel expert Frommer's. This is no mean feat considering Nairobi's Kenya Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is also on the list - a place, this author can attest - akin to the seventh circle of hell.

Describing JFK, Frommer's says: "There's a sense that the cleaning crew gave up in despair a while ago." As someone who has passed through and into New York via Terminal 3 (and found the entire process unnecessarily intimidating and painful), it is good to know that Frommer's has captured the atmosphere honestly.

The review goes on: "Endless immigration lines in a dank basement, an utter lack of food and shopping options, three crowded and confusing entry points, and hallways that could have been designed by MC Escher for vomiting international travellers out onto an underground sidewalk with no cabs available." Quite.

Following closely behind in second place is Manila Airport, Terminal 1 in the Philippines. But other big airports received an equally damning position in the list, including Moscow's Sheremetyevo (in third place) and Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport (in fifth position).

On the flipside, Jeddah Hajj in Saudi Arabia scooped first place for best airport, with Iceland's Leifur Eriksson Air Terminal in second place. Others in the top 10 best airports are located in Marrakech, Bilbao and Uruguay.
