Most of us have low expectations when it comes to airports, but there are actually many airports that are well-designed, well-organized, and have excellent amenities. These are the top 10 Best Airports in the world according to SkyTrax rankings and some of my own experiences traveling through them. These airports are more than just “efficient” but they also make spending time at the airport pleasurable. Airports on this list include: premium lounge facilities; movie theaters, pools, and botanical gardens; and easy security and immigration processes that make travel more seamless.

Sorry I missed the live!
What is your basis of Airports Ranking? Your personal Assestment?
Fantastic video, well organized, helpful information
My favorite airports are the small ones that arent busy
I’m midway through the live stream and I’m hoping Honolulu airport makes it…
WOW, what a superb video! I wish I could give you at least 10 👍🏻’s on this one. I’m really sorry I missed the LIVE. II got the notification and I checked back twice, but by the time it started I had to take care of an emergency. Anyway, the subject matter is near and dear to my heart, and I’ve watched all the YouTube videos on the 10 best airports around the world. That said, I can honestly tell you that yours is the absolute best presentation by a country mile; mostly due the fact that you share your own added value personal experiences on the subject. 👏🏻👏🏻 And yes, I agree with you 100%: The best airports aren’t necessarily the most efficient ones (like some of the German airports), but those that offer the most attractive, friendly, and entertaining environments for the flying public.
I am from Singapore and glad that Changi is always one of the top airports in the world. As a researcher who used to work on projects in aviation and for IATA, Changi, Incheon and Chek Lap Kok have been in the top 3 for many years (with changes among the trio from year to year being top). Thanks for sharing and if exclude Covid19, many airports are also investing in facilities and infrastructures and are catching up…! Do take a look at my travel videos too, though surely not as good as yours (or even near), but it's for sharing purpose! 🙂
THANKS
Worst airport…LAX
Narita rocks! they had a cool little toy store last time I was there
Incheon is huge, but I remember it was far from downtown Seoul
Maybe not the worst but strangest airport is Denver airport.
Changi is the best.
I love "LAS"…. as it means arriving in Las Vegas 😍😍 Oh man, I can't wait to go back… it's been 11 months this wk 😭
Hi Chris. Not surprising that many Asian airports made the list. They really make it a priority to provide excellent customer service. I think the culture probably has something to do with that. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Should definitely do best and worst airports in America there are some neat things in airports around here. Some are just a drag. Majority of people especially now fly domestically so it would be great
Whoever said LAX is the best airport… has probably never been to other airports. Lol.
Love Japan and I can’t wait to go back! We always try to fly into Haneda to cut the travel time to the city. Canceled our 2020 visit and we scheduled one again for Fall this year. Hopefully that doesn’t get canceled as well. 🙁
I love your channel Chris! I wasn’t a big fan of the new camera setting making the background blurry, it ruins the nice fire in your background.
Someday you should explore Jose Marti Intl airport (HAV) in Havana Cuba. Very modern in the new Terminal.
You can add Greensboro, NC airport to the worst because of how small it is
Vancouver is pretty nice too. Of course Japan has the best. Narita was nice but Kansai is rad. LAX is still the worst.
I was amazed when I saw Amsterdam's airport. It was the most efficient airport I've been.
Is the creepy Denver airport on the list
Not been to Changi yet unfortunately
London Heathrow Rocks 🗿 🤙
Incheon is sooo beautiful, and run like a well oiled machine. I could just live there, it's one of those places where im not in a rush to leave. Good shopping, good food options, a live piano show😍😍
I have flown out of Gimpo and Inchon. Gimpo really sucks. Inchon was very modern and I loved it.
I can not believe Qatar made the list. Sadly female Australian citizens/ resi
dents were sexually assaulted by Qatar officals The Qatar government did a cover up.
Munich is the only airport in the world with its own brewery!
I've been to 5 of them including 1 and 3 which were the last 2 I was at.
Thank you for complimenting the Dutch (such as myself) for being typically friendly 🙂
I have been to Changi Airport, Singapore on my way to Indonesia. As far as airports go this one is unlike any other I have experienced. Besides the butterfly garden they also have a free cinema for people waiting for transit. The staff was so friendly. I was struggling getting my Wi-Fi on and they did everything they could to satisfy my needs with a smile.
I do not completely agree with the list of best airports in the world. E.g. Abu Dhabi or Dubai airports are MUCH better than Munich or Schiphol. But this is a good video, too bad that so less people did watch. Chris makes always great videos. Unfortunately the live streams are for me too late in the night to watch. Nevertheless greetings from Austria. 🙂
I know Frankfurt is not a great airport.. Would you have any video that you cover how to navigate in that giant maze? Anything will be appreciated!
On one of my trips to Vietnam, I had to fly into HND and out of NRT. Took the bus to make the transfer. It was good.
A lot of your recent videos are either one minute or 1 hour. I like the 8 to 15 minute range better. Have you considered having pauses between paragraphs? It must be hard to add humor or humility to your videos, so you don't come off as a know it all.
How come you didn't talk about Qatar airport rather you talked about Japanese air airport it is not even on the list
New Istanbul Airport in Turkey is hands down the nicest.
We have a piece of the mountain that was leveled to build the new airport for Hong Kong.
I 've been to nine of the ten, love the beer machines and conbinis in Japan. Just missing Schiphol.
I've actually been at KIX and ICN in the last month.
