Do a fair bit of travelling in APAC so most of my choices reflect that:
1) Haneda (Tokyo) - Just a couple of years old with it's brand new international terminal. Clean, modern and laid out in a way that there is enough to do see without it being disorganized or in your face. And the most efficient airport I've been to - average of not more than 12 minutes from arrival to check in to security clearnace through immigration to gate (or lounge if I'm lucky). Free wifi.
2) Hong Kong - would fly there specifically for the shopping. Huge, but efficient with good food options. Free wifi.
3) YVR international. Just very well laid out and nice. Expensive duty free though.
4) YYC - but for more sentimental reasons as I'm not there as much as I'd like to be.
Worst:
1) Manila - Just flew there a couple of weeks ago. A dive.
2) Shanghai Hongqiao - It's like flying into the service wonderland of 1970's communist China. Even the lounge there is like a glorified sitting area with a fridge serving mostly inedible grub.
3) Seattle - Really poorly laid out, completely dicky immigration staff and just a general old, underdeveloped feeling to the amenities. It's like they tried to make the innefficiencies of LAX on a slightly smaller scale.
4) Do they still have that Edmonton airport in Leduc? Don't like that at all....
