Alex, I agree with what you said that one of the essential features of a good airport is that it has various excellent, affordable restaurants to choose from. My boyfriend and I plan to go on a round-the-world trip next year since we’ve stuck at home the whole year of 2020 because of the pandemic. We’ll definitely appreciate an airport more if we can grab a delicious bite in between flights. Great article!

Hello, Alex. This is one of the ‘finicky’ Ciampino ticket vending machines and we’re not afraid of you. Catch you the next time you’re in town! Or, should we say snarl?

Oh, and about that Motown airport. They now have a wall downstairs that’s been signed by any Motown signed singer (Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross etc) passing through. Check it out.

I’m a major fan of the Leif Ericson airport in Iceland. Love those video kiosks that show free tourism messages. That’s how I first learned of those amazing ponies with four gates. There’s also a great shoe store in this airport. 😉

I’m partial to the new’ish (and vastly improved) Detroit Metro airport. All sorts of Motown memorabilia, clean as the dickens, and plenty of dining options.

Singapore Airport is my favorite. It like city within a city. You can aso offer free city tours. Amazing !

Lots of awesome BBQ restaurants at the Memphis airport. And, Elvis. When I deplaned in October 2009, I could smell smoked ribs from the skybridge. Not for everybody, of course, but I loved it during a stop-over to and from New Orleans.
