Kilimanjaro Airport, Tanzania . . . . both the best and the worst.

Pretty funky to get off the plane in a place like that at around midnight, go through an indifferent customs pretty fast, miss the group you're supposed to hook up with and step outside into the night and find yourself alone with bats madly circling all around you. I remember thinking, "That's Africa baby!!!" Then I went back inside and eventually found where I was supposed to be. But there's not a lot to do at Kilimanjaro airport if you have to wait there a few hours before you leave.

I like most airports, good or bad, just because they're warrens to be explored.

The monorails in San Francisco, Las Vegas and at Newark make them pretty interesting. San Antonio is apparently highly rated but I never figured out why after passing through there a few times. Old and boring.

Rome seems like a pretty horrible airport. Like something out of the 1950's.

Milan was nice and modern. I liked Amsterdam's airport. Ditto Seattle. I liked O'Hare, Phoenix and Vancouver.

I can't remember much about Denver and Orlando. Toronto seemed septic and boring. Heathrow and Newark - also with a monorail at the latter - seemed to be dated.

Kona, Hawaii is too small for what it does. Departures can get very crowded there. The open air theme is cool, like Kahuluia on Maui, but the latter does it much better.

Calgary is probably one of the best airports I've seen.

I like airports though. Ultimately, they all do the same thing but they can be quite different. Most of them are interesting if you only have to be there two or three hours. Good or bad.

My two cents.
