HKG rated as one of the worst 10 airports in the world - what really, is this a joke video... there would be 10 if not more worst airports in the USA alone.
Transport links to it are fine such as the 199 bus and the train service . Just a rather mediocre terminal 1 etc and the way they force you through the shopping area. Terminal 2 is nicer where I flew business class to HKG with CX and still feel it warrants better lounges as the UK's 3rd busiest airport. It is being improved though.
As a native Angelena, I feel like we complain about LAX a lot, but it's really not as bad as it could be and as it is at other airports. I think the main issue with LAX is transportation (ironic), as connecting to public transport is difficult and confusing. Otherwise, I haven't had many issues at LAX.
I despise LAX. dumbest layout ever. Dumping travelers out of secure areas so they have to go back thru is a huge waste of time. Contact the damn buildings ! Went thru Lisbon's twice this year. Restaurant selection sucked and waiting areas too centralized. Could be much better
Can you explain what you dislike about it? I’ve heard so many horror stories that I was dreading using it, but I’ve been there a few times and had no problem. Landing in the morning during rush hour isn’t the best idea, but you can say that about any airport in a big city.
@@hothotheat3000 it has been a few years since I flew thru there but my gripe at the time was that the terminals were not connected. Each dumped you out on the street and forced you to back thru security which is a hassle and also a strain on manpower that some simple connecting walkways would solve

at 5:51, this is Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) in Manchester, New Hampshire rather than Manchester Airport in Manchester, England. I fly out MHT relatively often, so I figured I’d just let everyone know!
Hong Kong should never be on this list, in fact the 6 airports on this list that I have flown from are just fine. Clearly whoever made this list has never been to Cairo or Lagos!
I think Cairo, Lagos or any other airport are not on the same league of HKG, if you look carefully, you would notice they are only comparing between major international airports in developed countries/economies, so... I would say it's expected to have not-perfect experience from Cairo or Lagos, but not from airport such as Hong Kong international.
Hong Kong? Like their new airport. And it is ranked fifth best in the world. Pitiful list. Like really I mean out of the world I am sure Venezuela, Cuba or North Korean airports would have been on the list??
I've been using Manchester airport a lot and I think that is a good airport! The employees are very kind and the place is very clean.. the food is good too!
You don’t know bad airports until you’ve had to spend 16 hours in the Managua airport, and when you finally fall asleep, they fumigate the place and you have to nap under a tree outside while a man from Spain stands guard, and then you do the same when he sleeps. What a long night 😂
So sorry that happened to you! I stayed at the the Best Western across the road (90 seconds walk) from the Managua airport enjoyed a spectacular pool surrounded by palm and mango trees. Going back to Little Corn Island as soon as possible!

Don't get me started w/ Newark, I've only been there once and I experienced firsthand their crappy reputation. I returned from a study abroad semester in Europe four years ago and went to Newark for a layover under a tight schedule. The infrastructure was SO bad that not only those unprofessional idiots made me run in circles nor sent me to the check-in route where people would start their journey in lieu of a separate one for layover travelers, but also made me lose my flight and things verbally escalated a bit with security. Moral of the story: Avoid airports with crappy reputations for layover routes, especially under a tight schedule!
How did Edinburgh make the list of worst airports but not London Heathrow? Edinburgh isn't a bad airport. It's no worse than most regional American airports. I've been through Edinburgh many times. Since it's a small airport, immigration lines aren't that long and you don't have to walk 2 miles to baggage claim. The drop-off fee is a bit annoying for friends and family, but it does reduce congestion and encourages people to take one of the many excellent public transportation options to the airport. Despite the small size, I don't think I have ever had a delay of longer than 30 minutes in Edinburgh. None of which can be said for Heathrow. Getting from one terminal to another is a nightmare. BA is one of the most disorganized and uncaring airlines in the world. No amount of connection time is enough to feel comfortable. I could have a four hour connection time in Heathrow and still feel nervous.
Lisbon in number 1!! how embarassing!! LOL but change the name of the video!! 10 worst of the civilized world or whatever... i dont think lisbon nor HK are worst than a randon airport in africa...
There are lots of worst airports in the world such as the airports of the African countries like Burundi, Liberia, Sudan and others. Why the world survey do not include them. I wonder why...
My only nightmarish experience was at Madrid Airport. Hope to never set foot again there. Spent a whole day inside this airport, and more than one hour inside the airplane while connecting to Lisbon. Provided no information at all regarding the flight delay, huge rows to check in your luggage, very bad information or even lack of it, as this airport is so huge that I almost got lost inside.
Agreed. I had a bad experience at Madrid Baraja as well. Delayed flight is not an airport fault, but at least the staff should be more considerate towards the passangers stuck in waiting. The airport was packed, there were no seats available so I sat myself on the floor. I was about to doze off when a guard came and woke me up with his foot. He literally kicked my legs and asked me to show him my ticket. He can’t speak a word of English for which I found surprising for a person guarding one of the entrances to the country. I had to explain my predicament to him in my pidgin Spanish. He finally left me alone and, to my horror, captured a bird seeking shelter from the rain and, with a few of his friends, proceeded to torture the bird by pulling its feathers off. Another bad experience was at Leonardo da Vinci airport in Rome. A custom officer dropped and broke my video camera while inspecting my bag and he just acted as if nothing happened. Never again.
I'm sorry this list is garbage. Not a single African airport? I would know being Zambian, I also travel much of subsaharan africa for work. Take the Kenneth Kaunda intl airport in Lusaka with only one elevator that can trap you in it for hours lol. Nah FAM, this list should be named "Worst Airports in Developed countries"
Surely, the one who did the research for this content hasn't been to nor heard about the Ninoy Aquino Int'l Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 in Metro Manila, Philippines. Some personnel specially those from the security/baggage check are quite notorious for putting some "eyed passenger" in a situation where one would never want to be in while catching a flight. They "milk" the passengers to avoid delays and to avoid the plotted investigation because of some serious violations a passenger never actually commited. In short, these personnel are trained extortionists. Moreover, airport taxi are like vultures waiting for prey. They impose so much jacked up taxi fare which leaves a passenger helpless and without a choice but to puke money the moment you stepped in and the driver stepped on the gas. The timed parking for a quick drop-off is as terrible as the rude attendants. Other really bad feedback will consume a lot of space here in my comment when needed to be enumerated., hence I suggest that you do another video featuring how bad this airport is. This is not a hearsay. I am coming from being a very disappointed, disgusted and irked passenger like some of my family members and friends who have experienced terrible things in that airport. Rating should be about negative four (- 4) out of 10.
When you travel you sometimes get to a beautiful airport like Zurich or Dubai. But sometimes you get to something like Berlin. I think thats the fun part of travelling :)
Im dutch and i regularly travel via Eindhoven airport and i don't agree with what is said about it, its a small airport meaning its very easy to find everything you need, from security check to boarding always takes me less then one hour so im not sure where these negative reviews came from.
I am surprised that Manila International Airport is not on the Top of the list. Theft, poor sanitation, delays, air traffic, poor and unsecured wifi, pollution, extortion, long queues, traffic and bad food all check! I never flew to that airport and paid premium to go to another airport since 2013. Avoid at all cost
Juba International in South Sudan should be on the list. No WiFi, No cafes after security, tiny gates. I mean a step up from the tents that used to be the airport but still awful.
I would fly through Düsseldorf over Frankfurt any day. Lisbon and Eindhoven are perfectly fine too. O’Hare, LAX, LaGuardia, Miami Charles De Gaulle, all deserve to be on this list more.
Excellent Airport and New Terminal opens in a year or so. In Manchester UK You never circle the airport for hours for a landing slot as its under NATS Prestwick command and not UKs worst Airport Heathrow overcrowded and takes ages for a landing slot as NATS Swanwick completely swamped too many Aircraft all in one Area I hate Heathrow 👨✈️👩✈️👑⭐️🥇🇬🇧✈️Manchester 👎🙏✈️Heathrow 👩✈️👨✈️👎
A super super disagree, non of these airports are candidates for this list. It seems that you have never seen african and latin american airports. The most ridiculous is Hongkong Intl. airport. Actually this is a real candidate for the best airports of the world. my candidates for this list; - NAIA, Manila - Clark, Angeles City - Cebu intl. Airport - Jakarta Intl. Airport - Marakkesh - Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport . Jorge Chavez internationalen Flughafen
My experience at HKG was quite ok - very efficient in everything. I thought you meant the current crackdown on the political situation might have made the transportation more difficult, but the airport itself.
I mean its big airports mostly, they are never empty and dont have a lot of room to improve. And people are trying to be fast and efficient not rude and dirty. So yeah this list idea isnt that good. I feel bad for people who work there and being put on this list. They do their best.
I've been through Hong Kong Airport plenty of times and I've never had any issues with it. It's clean, it's safe, it's comfortable enough, their WiFi is alright, and they have do some cheap food options. I think the problem is that it's Hong Kong and there are a lot of demanding rich people and business people going through there all the time. By far, the absolute WORST airport experience I've ever had in my life was my layover at Ninoy Aquino Airport in Manila. Absolutely the WORST. Security checks every 5 steps, rude workers and security guards, the terminals make no freaking sense, there are no freakin exits out of the airport except for ONE door, we had to LEAVE the airport and take taxi halfway around the city just to end up at the same airport to transfer to Terrminal 4 Domestic flights, it was the most ridiculously bad airport ever. #2 would be the Houston International Airport. SO disorganized. My family and I missed our connecting flights, even though we had a 4-hour layover, because the lines at immigration were so freaking long. And the reason for the long lines wasn't that there was an enormous amount of people. It was that they only had like 2 customs workers, so there were only 2 lines to process all of the arrivals.
HKG?!? The minute I heard this as the first on the list, I knew that whoever made this uninformed and shallow video obviously hasn't been to these airports.
I simply don't agree with number one (Lisbon Portela). I travel a lot and I find it's one of the best airports I've been. Ok, it's not perfect, but hey... it's NOT number one !!!.
"For me Ninoy Aquino International Airport or NAIA should be included in the list everything here are the worst levels: hidden crimes, horrible facilities, sanitation and the lists goes on by the way most of our airports here in the Philippines are the same as bad as Hell .?!"
Been to african and latin American airports and they are even worse.Even some US airports are worse than NAIA. Maybe try to travel first before you put down your own country. But travel tax in Naia is terrible.
@@girbaud07 for real? I really thought that NAIA was the worst because it was always in the local news that NAIA was named as the worst airport in the world by an international institution. It underwent a rehabilitation thats why it was removed from that list. As a taxpayer, we deserved the proper facilities. The travel tax is so expensive in NAIA.
@@braska08 We've improved. Based from my observation from the last 3 yrs, NAIA at least was able to escape from its past. I'm telling you, you wouldn't even want to land in most of the african nations bec of it's terrible airports.
Before you tarnish the image of the Philippines, be sure to update your observation about your own country. Our airport was already improved more than a year ago and you must be thankful that it's not anymore in the list of the worst airports. Truly crab mentality!
In the case of Lisbon airport is they are 2 terminals and the terminal 2 is very bad, but the 1st is very nice so is a contrast opinion and depends on the situation.
If you think these airports are bad, go ahead on a trip to Havana (Cuba) or Port-Au-Prince (Haiti) int. airports... tell me how are they... ...If you survive
I am surprised to see HKG, as in my eyes, its a pretty clean and efficient airport. On the list belongs, however, NAIA Manila. once even portions of the ceiling in Terminal 1 DID come down, and to travel between terminals, the so-called shuttles need to go out on the busy roads around the airport. Loved ones cannot see you off or welcome you in the terminals, waiting is obnoxious, and quality of services and foods are rock bottom. A horror experience. If possible, choose Cebu Mactan Int. Airport, smaller, and much, much better
Just shows how inaccurate you can be if you base a ranking on feedback comments on websites rather than on objective criteria and site visits. None of this airports qualify to be in the 10 worst in the world. If we are restricting the ranking to large airports in highly developed nations, the ‘worst’ list would probably be dominated by airports in the US.
Top 10? Hong Kong Newark Dusseldorf Edinburgh Orly Manchester Eindhoven Lisbon Even if you include Charles de Gaulle, that seems to be only nine. Did I miss one?
Edinburgh has a small airport thats it, but its fine. HKG has one of the better airports in the world, they are renovating to add a third runway and extra terminal.
hongkong airport is one of my favourit airport, it has free wifi and we can charge our cellphone and laptop, free wifi is important in and airport for us to keep entertained for waiting next flight for long hours.. you can find food easily within the airport
What a stupid video! Lisbon , Eindhoven and Hong Kong definitely not supposed to be on that list ! Even Düsseldorf. What about Rome airport or LAX or Lagos ?
As someone who lives literally 15 minutes away from Newark Airport, shameful! I only have issues with TSA. The food is also an issue as it's too pricey. LaGuardia Airport is cheaper than Newark Airport! Their salad is equivalent to Saladworks salads.
I flew from Newark many times I would rank it higher like 2-3 you guys were too nice. Berlin Tegel should have been on the list even though it did close.
This list is based on the only 10 airports you've ever been to and you don't like air travel in general? I get it. It is a necessary wate of time but this list is completely arbitrary. Until the TeleTranspoter is introduced ANY airport is shit though.
I’ve been to Orly, Hong Kong, and Lisbon and I’m confused about why they made the list, especially HK. Orly is a secondary airport so it doesn’t have the best of things but gets the job done. Lisbon airport I thought was lovely with great WiFi, train connection, and awesome coffee, plus a good manageable size. Newark on the other hand should be bombed and rebuilt.
Forgot to mention Manila airport, where they wouldn't let people in without a ticket. I had to GET a ticket IN the airport, that's why I had come. And they have airport staff trying to solicit bribes not to stand in a hour-long queue to come in the airport lol.
Delay has many factors. It could be due to airplanes arriving late, bad weather or airline counter incompetence. Maraming beses na akong pabalik balik ng pinas pero wala pa akong delays na naexperience.
1:34 can confirm. It's great to watch from the turnpike; but customs is really where it falls apart. In 2018 I was on a delayed flight from Zürich to Newark that landed at 12:15am due to a technical fault in Zürich. Still took an hour and a half to process a more than half empty A330-200 and IT WAS THE ONLY FLIGHT ARRIVING AT THAT TIME IN THE ENTIRE AIRPORT. There were like 100 to 110 passengers and five queues, three of which were for US citizens like me. Then our baggage didn't get to the carousel until 2:30am. If you're flying Star Alliance, do not connect through Newark without a minimum layover of three to four hours. It's one of United Airlines's hubs, because you have to go through US Customs before you can go to your connecting flight no matter your final destination and that can take literally hours. Okay rant over, thank you for reading my Ted Talk.
I love Düsseldorf Airport... wait times can vary for security but are not generally too bad. Plus, I know of almost no other airport where you can get from the airport to the city centre in five minutes with public transit. It is pretty sweet.
whoa.. im kinda surprised our airports here in the Philippines is not included.. but i guess thats understandable since Philippines is not really a top tourists destination unlike our Southeast Asia neighbors like Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.. so reviews from tourists that visit are our airports arent that many..
By far, the absolute WORST airport experience I've ever had in my life was my layover at Ninoy Aquino Airport in Manila. Absolutely the WORST. Security checks every 5 steps, rude workers and security guards, the terminals make no freaking sense, there are no freakin exits out of the airport except for ONE door, we had to LEAVE the airport and take a taxi halfway around the city just to end up at the same airport to transfer Terminal 4 Domestic flights, it was the most ridiculously bad airport ever.
No Airport is going to be perfect, if one demolished and rebuilt all of them into something superb, there would always be a complaint from someone, mind you most of the airports in the uk ,need to be rebuilt, some of them have disused buildings now like terminal one at Heathrow, manchesters old control tower is still in situ(very 1960's) and disused too, i spoke to a worker at Gatwick and she said the whole lot needs knocking down, england is a small country to put an ideal airport in and the cost would be huge, i agree they are trying to improve some like manchester for instance, and i agree that aviation is moving at such a rapid pace that it must be hard to keep up with the modernisation of these airports, it would be interesting if they constructed them all now, but then they would probably get out of date in the future, thats why they are constantly bieng patched up, world over, and old mixing in with the new makes some of them look hideous, i think the airport staff would probably be happier working in a fresh new environment as for the travelling public, oh well time will tell, i have never really encountered any rude staff as yet, and have bren using these places for years, a favourite airport? I rather like Zurich, not very large but very clean!!
The Germans built a new airport for Berlin, abooout 10 years ago, and only in November 2020 did it actually open, and it only opened because they closed down the older Tegel airport
Seriously HK airport ?!?!? It shouldn’t be on your list . I traveled to HK airport once a year for business & transit last 10 years, they were amazing airport . Have you been there ??? 🙄 they have a lot of restaurants there & shops are amazing ! I think u should do more accurate research on your video . 😒
I'd put Newark far ahead of both JFK and LaGuardia. It's the easiest of the 3 to get to/from Manhattan (the train runs straight from the airport to Penn Station in under 30 minutes) and the United terminals are quite smart and efficient. Security lines move much faster than the other 2 NYC airports. Manchester is indeed a hellhole. They charge you for everything, the terminals are crowded and dirty, and some of the gates are such a long walk from the check-in areas that I think they share a runway with LPL (Liverpool). I've never flown from Orly but it can't be worse than Charles DeGaulle. That airport is an absolute disgrace. Overpriced crap food, no A/C, long walks between gates and unhelpful or nonexistent signs. The worst I've been through is Genghis Khan Int'l in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. The terminal is too small and gets overcrowded when several flights arrive or depart at the same time, immigration officers are very rude, the signage is poor, no one speaks any language other than Mongolian or Russian and there are no decent food options anywhere in the terminal. UB is getting a new airport in the next few years and it can't open soon enough.
The fly over of the airport in your Manchester, UK discussion is Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in New Hampshire, USA, not Manchester, UK. And the New Hampshire airport is one of the best, not one of the worst, airports in the world.

How did Edinburgh make the list of worst airports but not London Heathrow? Edinburgh isn't a bad airport. It's no worse than most regional American airports. I've been through Edinburgh many times. Since it's a small airport, immigration lines aren't that long and you don't have to walk 2 miles to baggage claim. The drop-off fee is a bit annoying for friends and family, but it does reduce congestion and encourages people to take one of the many excellent public transportation options to the airport. Despite the small size, I don't think I have ever had a delay of longer than 30 minutes in Edinburgh. None of which can be said for Heathrow. Getting from one terminal to another is a nightmare. BA is one of the most disorganized and uncaring airlines in the world. No amount of connection time is enough to feel comfortable. I could have a four hour connection time in Heathrow and still feel nervous.
Lisbon in number 1!! how embarassing!! LOL but change the name of the video!! 10 worst of the civilized world or whatever... i dont think lisbon nor HK are worst than a randon airport in africa...
You would need to read more info before coming to conclusion
There are lots of worst airports in the world such as the airports of the African countries like Burundi, Liberia, Sudan and others. Why the world survey do not include them. I wonder why...
My only nightmarish experience was at Madrid Airport. Hope to never set foot again there.
Spent a whole day inside this airport, and more than one hour inside the airplane while connecting to Lisbon. Provided no information at all regarding the flight delay, huge rows to check in your luggage, very bad information or even lack of it, as this airport is so huge that I almost got lost inside.
Agreed. I had a bad experience at Madrid Baraja as well. Delayed flight is not an airport fault, but at least the staff should be more considerate towards the passangers stuck in waiting.
The airport was packed, there were no seats available so I sat myself on the floor. I was about to doze off when a guard came and woke me up with his foot. He literally kicked my legs and asked me to show him my ticket. He can’t speak a word of English for which I found surprising for a person guarding one of the entrances to the country. I had to explain my predicament to him in my pidgin Spanish.
He finally left me alone and, to my horror, captured a bird seeking shelter from the rain and, with a few of his friends, proceeded to torture the bird by pulling its feathers off.
Another bad experience was at Leonardo da Vinci airport in Rome. A custom officer dropped and broke my video camera while inspecting my bag and he just acted as if nothing happened.
Never again.
Well, my father used to travel from Madrid-Barajas in order to get back home...and he suffered a delay almosy every day he travelled from there.
Same flight got canceled spent the whole day there
I see,the politically correct version list,where is Nigeria,India,Mexico,The Philippines?Orly is heaven compared to those airports.
I'm sorry this list is garbage. Not a single African airport? I would know being Zambian, I also travel much of subsaharan africa for work. Take the Kenneth Kaunda intl airport in Lusaka with only one elevator that can trap you in it for hours lol. Nah FAM, this list should be named "Worst Airports in Developed countries"
Surely, the one who did the research for this content hasn't been to nor heard about the Ninoy Aquino Int'l Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 in Metro Manila, Philippines. Some personnel specially those from the security/baggage check are quite notorious for putting some "eyed passenger" in a situation where one would never want to be in while catching a flight. They "milk" the passengers to avoid delays and to avoid the plotted investigation because of some serious violations a passenger never actually commited. In short, these personnel are trained extortionists. Moreover, airport taxi are like vultures waiting for prey. They impose so much jacked up taxi fare which leaves a passenger helpless and without a choice but to puke money the moment you stepped in and the driver stepped on the gas. The timed parking for a quick drop-off is as terrible as the rude attendants. Other really bad feedback will consume a lot of space here in my comment when needed to be enumerated., hence I suggest that you do another video featuring how bad this airport is. This is not a hearsay. I am coming from being a very disappointed, disgusted and irked passenger like some of my family members and friends who have experienced terrible things in that airport. Rating should be about negative four (- 4) out of 10.
When you travel you sometimes get to a beautiful airport like Zurich or Dubai. But sometimes you get to something like Berlin. I think thats the fun part of travelling :)
Dubai airport has free shower cabins, which is nice. The rest is just ripoff shops like the rest of them.
@@netdude1984 what about the GIANT GOLD PALM TREES! 😆
I flew to and from HK airport many times. it's not bad. can't be on this list
Im dutch and i regularly travel via Eindhoven airport and i don't agree with what is said about it, its a small airport meaning its very easy to find everything you need, from security check to boarding always takes me less then one hour so im not sure where these negative reviews came from.
I am surprised that Manila International Airport is not on the Top of the list. Theft, poor sanitation, delays, air traffic, poor and unsecured wifi, pollution, extortion, long queues, traffic and bad food all check! I never flew to that airport and paid premium to go to another airport since 2013. Avoid at all cost
Juba International in South Sudan should be on the list. No WiFi, No cafes after security, tiny gates. I mean a step up from the tents that used to be the airport but still awful.
I've been in more than 30 airports around the world, and definitely LAX is the worst airport I've ever been..
I would fly through Düsseldorf over Frankfurt any day. Lisbon and Eindhoven are perfectly fine too. O’Hare, LAX, LaGuardia, Miami Charles De Gaulle, all deserve to be on this list more.
never had issues in manchester airport. its my local airport
Sorry dude . I've faced some of those problems there
Excellent Airport and New Terminal opens in a year or so. In Manchester UK You never circle the airport for hours for a landing slot as its under NATS Prestwick command and not UKs worst Airport Heathrow overcrowded and takes ages for a landing slot as NATS Swanwick completely swamped too many Aircraft all in one Area I hate Heathrow 👨✈️👩✈️👑⭐️🥇🇬🇧✈️Manchester 👎🙏✈️Heathrow 👩✈️👨✈️👎
I've been to Edinburgh airport many times and it's amazing it just got upgraded two years ago and I think it's pretty good all my flights were on time
A super super disagree, non of these airports are candidates for this list. It seems that you have never seen african and latin american airports.
The most ridiculous is Hongkong Intl. airport. Actually this is a real candidate for the best airports of the world.
my candidates for this list;
- NAIA, Manila
- Clark, Angeles City
- Cebu intl. Airport
- Jakarta Intl. Airport
- Marakkesh
- Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport
. Jorge Chavez internationalen Flughafen
Edinburgh airport is actually good lmao but Manchester is by far the worst.
mojo pronounced that france airport with such finesse.... my god?
My experience at HKG was quite ok - very efficient in everything. I thought you meant the current crackdown on the political situation might have made the transportation more difficult, but the airport itself.
HKIA is good. Where is Vienna's overcrowded airport?
I mean its big airports mostly, they are never empty and dont have a lot of room to improve. And people are trying to be fast and efficient not rude and dirty. So yeah this list idea isnt that good. I feel bad for people who work there and being put on this list. They do their best.
They should have thrown Mexico City in there.
No way man MEX isnt the best but its perfectly serviceable i have used it many times and its much better than Cancun for example
LaGuardia - rude airport staff
Who goes to Laguardia
I've been through Hong Kong Airport plenty of times and I've never had any issues with it. It's clean, it's safe, it's comfortable enough, their WiFi is alright, and they have do some cheap food options. I think the problem is that it's Hong Kong and there are a lot of demanding rich people and business people going through there all the time.
By far, the absolute WORST airport experience I've ever had in my life was my layover at Ninoy Aquino Airport in Manila. Absolutely the WORST. Security checks every 5 steps, rude workers and security guards, the terminals make no freaking sense, there are no freakin exits out of the airport except for ONE door, we had to LEAVE the airport and take taxi halfway around the city just to end up at the same airport to transfer to Terrminal 4 Domestic flights, it was the most ridiculously bad airport ever.
#2 would be the Houston International Airport. SO disorganized. My family and I missed our connecting flights, even though we had a 4-hour layover, because the lines at immigration were so freaking long. And the reason for the long lines wasn't that there was an enormous amount of people. It was that they only had like 2 customs workers, so there were only 2 lines to process all of the arrivals.
Imagine being a City fan watching this video 😂
HKG?!? The minute I heard this as the first on the list, I knew that whoever made this uninformed and shallow video obviously hasn't been to these airports.
I simply don't agree with number one (Lisbon Portela). I travel a lot and I find it's one of the best airports I've been. Ok, it's not perfect, but hey... it's NOT number one !!!.
Jeddah airport is the worst. Very slow service, long lines and worst of all security ALLOWED people to cut lines. People are also very snobbish
100% agree, Had all my worst experiences there every time I have been to Saudi Arabia and back again - it's terrible
I am completely astonished that Hong Kong International Airport is in Hong Kong! Who would have realised!!! duh
I was under the impression that the old Airport, Tai Chi, was horrible!
I find your lack of information quite inaccurate. As a Portuguese - not from Lisbon - Lisbon airport is one of the best.
"For me Ninoy Aquino International Airport or NAIA should be included in the list everything here are the worst levels: hidden crimes, horrible facilities, sanitation and the lists goes on by the way most of our airports here in the Philippines are the same as bad as Hell .?!"
True. Rooting forward to the new SMC’s Bulacan Airport
Been to african and latin American airports and they are even worse.Even some US airports are worse than NAIA. Maybe try to travel first before you put down your own country. But travel tax in Naia is terrible.
@@girbaud07 for real? I really thought that NAIA was the worst because it was always in the local news that NAIA was named as the worst airport in the world by an international institution. It underwent a rehabilitation thats why it was removed from that list. As a taxpayer, we deserved the proper facilities. The travel tax is so expensive in NAIA.
@@braska08 We've improved. Based from my observation from the last 3 yrs, NAIA at least was able to escape from its past. I'm telling you, you wouldn't even want to land in most of the african nations bec of it's terrible airports.
Before you tarnish the image of the Philippines, be sure to update your observation about your own country. Our airport was already improved more than a year ago and you must be thankful that it's not anymore in the list of the worst airports. Truly crab mentality!
I am 1st view and like I like u r channel plz give me some info about immigration and about counties
In the case of Lisbon airport is they are 2 terminals and the terminal 2 is very bad, but the 1st is very nice so is a contrast opinion and depends on the situation.
If you think these airports are bad, go ahead on a trip to Havana (Cuba) or Port-Au-Prince (Haiti) int. airports...
tell me how are they...
...If you survive
Cuba has a real chance for a renaissance if US travel restrictions are lifted. Maybe they have been in not sure but they will need time to improve.
Why Hong Kong airport would be worst...I disagree
I’ve been in Edinburgh Airport twice, quick security, just some of the queues take a long time. Not bad when you think about it.
Philippines airport (NAIA AIRPORT) The ratings are so bad isn't even fit on the list hahahahaha 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂
I heard it smelled like pigs
Ops baka meron magalit
I am surprised to see HKG, as in my eyes, its a pretty clean and efficient airport. On the list belongs, however, NAIA Manila. once even portions of the ceiling in Terminal 1 DID come down, and to travel between terminals, the so-called shuttles need to go out on the busy roads around the airport. Loved ones cannot see you off or welcome you in the terminals, waiting is obnoxious, and quality of services and foods are rock bottom. A horror experience. If possible, choose Cebu Mactan Int. Airport, smaller, and much, much better
No O'Hare? What a joke!
Agree. O’Hare should be #1. It’s a zoo!
I would say there the worse
Just shows how inaccurate you can be if you base a ranking on feedback comments on websites rather than on objective criteria and site visits. None of this airports qualify to be in the 10 worst in the world. If we are restricting the ranking to large airports in highly developed nations, the ‘worst’ list would probably be dominated by airports in the US.
Manchester isn’t that bad, ok T1 and 3 could do with some improvements but it’s not terrible compared to other airports
Top 10?
Hong Kong
Newark
Dusseldorf
Edinburgh
Orly
Manchester
Eindhoven
Lisbon
Even if you include Charles de Gaulle, that seems to be only nine.
Did I miss one?
No, I was thinking the same...
Edinburgh has a small airport thats it, but its fine. HKG has one of the better airports in the world, they are renovating to add a third runway and extra terminal.
Ahhahaha walang NAIA Panut left the group...😂
Inaantay ko nga NAIA, hahaha
Nagbabasa ako ng comments Wala akong magkikita naia....salamat Naman😁🤣🤣🤣
hongkong airport is one of my favourit airport, it has free wifi and we can charge our cellphone and laptop, free wifi is important in and airport for us to keep entertained for waiting next flight for long hours.. you can find food easily within the airport
I totally agree with Manchester. The staff are rude, the wait is long and the security is like hell.
What a stupid video! Lisbon , Eindhoven and Hong Kong definitely not supposed to be on that list ! Even Düsseldorf. What about Rome airport or LAX or Lagos ?
Many of these airports are nicer than Honolulu HNL. That airport is an absolute wreck.
I guess you never visited any south Asian country. Better check it out😂 you'll find more interesting contents.
South asian airport :- hold my beer😂😂
As someone who lives literally 15 minutes away from Newark Airport, shameful! I only have issues with TSA. The food is also an issue as it's too pricey. LaGuardia Airport is cheaper than Newark Airport! Their salad is equivalent to Saladworks salads.
I’d do anything to be in one of these though!
Ninoy international Airport left the Philippines
I flew from Newark many times I would rank it higher like 2-3 you guys were too nice. Berlin Tegel should have been on the list even though it did close.
Tegel was a horrible airport
Just any Russian airport? HK Airport is so much better
Hong Kong International what will you expect they are one of the busiest airport in the world
How about Manila? Hahaha
NAIA is quite okay except for the expensive travel tax. African and latin american airports are worse.
NAIA Was out since 2014
This list is based on the only 10 airports you've ever been to and you don't like air travel in general? I get it. It is a necessary wate of time but this list is completely arbitrary. Until the TeleTranspoter is introduced ANY airport is shit though.
I’ve been to Orly, Hong Kong, and Lisbon and I’m confused about why they made the list, especially HK. Orly is a secondary airport so it doesn’t have the best of things but gets the job done. Lisbon airport I thought was lovely with great WiFi, train connection, and awesome coffee, plus a good manageable size. Newark on the other hand should be bombed and rebuilt.
Why is Edinburgh referred to as being in Scotland but Manchester not referred to as being in England? Also, burglarised?!!!
Because we are special 😂
Forgot to mention Manila airport, where they wouldn't let people in without a ticket. I had to GET a ticket IN the airport, that's why I had come. And they have airport staff trying to solicit bribes not to stand in a hour-long queue to come in the airport lol.
No...Worst airport is Uruk International Airport!
Only Descendants of the Sun fans will understand what I mean:)
No Ninoy Aquino International?
come to Manila and see what you get in our airport 😂😂
Been around the world but Naia is not that bad at all. African airports and some US airports are even worse.
NAIA is not as bad as you think. Try to travel before saying that!
Agree... Come to Manila.. especially Terminal 3
It's a nice airport, but when flights there are delayed...
Delay has many factors. It could be due to airplanes arriving late, bad weather or airline counter incompetence.
Maraming beses na akong pabalik balik ng pinas pero wala pa akong delays na naexperience.
1:34 can confirm. It's great to watch from the turnpike; but customs is really where it falls apart. In 2018 I was on a delayed flight from Zürich to Newark that landed at 12:15am due to a technical fault in Zürich. Still took an hour and a half to process a more than half empty A330-200 and IT WAS THE ONLY FLIGHT ARRIVING AT THAT TIME IN THE ENTIRE AIRPORT.
There were like 100 to 110 passengers and five queues, three of which were for US citizens like me. Then our baggage didn't get to the carousel until 2:30am.
If you're flying Star Alliance, do not connect through Newark without a minimum layover of three to four hours. It's one of United Airlines's hubs, because you have to go through US Customs before you can go to your connecting flight no matter your final destination and that can take literally hours. Okay rant over, thank you for reading my Ted Talk.
I love Düsseldorf Airport... wait times can vary for security but are not generally too bad. Plus, I know of almost no other airport where you can get from the airport to the city centre in five minutes with public transit. It is pretty sweet.
whoa.. im kinda surprised our airports here in the Philippines is not included.. but i guess thats understandable since Philippines is not really a top tourists destination unlike our Southeast Asia neighbors like Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.. so reviews from tourists that visit are our airports arent that many..
By far, the absolute WORST airport experience I've ever had in my life was my layover at Ninoy Aquino Airport in Manila. Absolutely the WORST. Security checks every 5 steps, rude workers and security guards, the terminals make no freaking sense, there are no freakin exits out of the airport except for ONE door, we had to LEAVE the airport and take a taxi halfway around the city just to end up at the same airport to transfer Terminal 4 Domestic flights, it was the most ridiculously bad airport ever.
No Airport is going to be perfect, if one demolished and rebuilt all of them into something superb, there would always be a complaint from someone, mind you most of the airports in the uk ,need to be rebuilt, some of them have disused buildings now like terminal one at Heathrow, manchesters old control tower is still in situ(very 1960's) and disused too, i spoke to a worker at Gatwick and she said the whole lot needs knocking down, england is a small country to put an ideal airport in and the cost would be huge, i agree they are trying to improve some like manchester for instance, and i agree that aviation is moving at such a rapid pace that it must be hard to keep up with the modernisation of these airports, it would be interesting if they constructed them all now, but then they would probably get out of date in the future, thats why they are constantly bieng patched up, world over, and old mixing in with the new makes some of them look hideous, i think the airport staff would probably be happier working in a fresh new environment as for the travelling public, oh well time will tell, i have never really encountered any rude staff as yet, and have bren using these places for years, a favourite airport? I rather like Zurich, not very large but very clean!!
The Germans built a new airport for Berlin, abooout 10 years ago, and only in November 2020 did it actually open, and it only opened because they closed down the older Tegel airport
Seriously HK airport ?!?!? It shouldn’t be on your list . I traveled to HK airport once a year for business & transit last 10 years, they were amazing airport . Have you been there ??? 🙄 they have a lot of restaurants there & shops are amazing ! I think u should do more accurate research on your video . 😒
Orlando is by far the worst, there is no other contender in the US!
I disagree. It’s not even the worst in Florida. That’s Jacksonville
You should add on the list Airport in Serbia , hilarious airport.
I'd put Newark far ahead of both JFK and LaGuardia. It's the easiest of the 3 to get to/from Manhattan (the train runs straight from the airport to Penn Station in under 30 minutes) and the United terminals are quite smart and efficient. Security lines move much faster than the other 2 NYC airports.
Manchester is indeed a hellhole. They charge you for everything, the terminals are crowded and dirty, and some of the gates are such a long walk from the check-in areas that I think they share a runway with LPL (Liverpool).
I've never flown from Orly but it can't be worse than Charles DeGaulle. That airport is an absolute disgrace. Overpriced crap food, no A/C, long walks between gates and unhelpful or nonexistent signs.
The worst I've been through is Genghis Khan Int'l in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. The terminal is too small and gets overcrowded when several flights arrive or depart at the same time, immigration officers are very rude, the signage is poor, no one speaks any language other than Mongolian or Russian and there are no decent food options anywhere in the terminal. UB is getting a new airport in the next few years and it can't open soon enough.
The fly over of the airport in your Manchester, UK discussion is Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in New Hampshire, USA, not Manchester, UK. And the New Hampshire airport is one of the best, not one of the worst, airports in the world.
