Manston - If you're lucky enough to get a flight from there nowadays but dead simple and small.Cairns is nice too - though it was under a bit of construction when I was there in/out it was a breeze through security.

Singapore is a great airport along with Wellington.

Miami is just a bad airport. horrid place and far too long to queue for passing security.

London City Airport for me. Even though it is much busier than it used to be, it never seems crowded and the security checks don't seem to take as long as at other airports.

My least favourite UK small airport is Southampton. It's cramped and too small for the numbers using it.

Singapore again. Perfect staging post for the long haul to Australia with more dignity and class than Dubai will ever have.

I'm not sure what its like since the extension. But the old terminal building at Malaga at least used to be pretty poor. Stupidly large check in hall, and you could garantee your check in desk would be the furthist from the door! For those whp like a bit of duty free shopping, it was rubish. There was a little place to buy food. It was acceptible food but there was a poor choice and it was overpriced. Plus there wasn't anywhere decent to watch the planes.

Arrivals was no better, you'd have to walk about 50 miles down boringly-beige corridors which were stiffingly hot. And the moving walkways only coverd the last little bit.

I'll tell you an airport that is pretty good though, Sanford Intl airport in Orlando, Florida. Easy to find your way around, don't have to walk a long way, decent places to watch the planes, the shopping and food is alright, even the staff are quite good


Malaga airport really hasn't improved that much, the new check in hall has just made you walk further in a pointless circle if you follow the signs...

Duty free however isnt that bad, but food is extortionatly priced there.
