Manila airport is crowded and stuck in the '50s.

Singapore airport gets my vote as the best. Just to see if I could do it I took the train from the airport to within two blocks of my hotel (Mariner's Club, Cantoment Rd..) Taxi's in relation to everything else in Singapore are inexpensive.

I think Singapore is overrated. Looks worn, expensive, 0 charm.

Really ? I haven't been there in 7 or 8 years and both times I was in Sing Biz, but it's been rated top 3 since it was built. Obviously a lot of fliers disagree with you: http://www.worldairportawards.com/award ... ating.html. I like HKG too. Their Cathay lounges are the best I've experienced.

I know, I know, I am in a minority here. Maybe it is the 8-Dollar cans of beer that put me off.

Next time go to the minimart. It's tucked away where you can't see it, but it is marked on the airport map. They have cans of beer for about $3. :beer3:

Nobody mentioned Siem Reap, the busiest in Cambodia. It's good, clean and comfortable but everything is too expensive.

I don't think the airport is bad but the bad thing is we chased taxi and traffic jame.

Any lightly-used airport (Knock, Blackpool, Jazan, Abha, Taif, Hail, Hofuf) is easy to endure; it's the busy ones that create challenges for users and those trying to run the show.

Gatwick, Dubai, Kansai, Hong Kong, Cairo, Riyadh, Jeddah all work just fine but some others are like a foretaste
of hell.
