Sort of like what airlines do you want to get rid of, which airport do you want to say bye bye to?

 

I want to say newark to start with.   I know I might get a lot of critisism from this bt I went their recently and I was disappointed at the super dull interior.  I hate dull interiors.  I want bright, welcoming interiors and facilities, but to me, newark was the opposite.

Leeds-Bradford could do with some renovation, it is very old fashioned and boring inside.

I would have said that Auckland International needed a renovation and expansion badly but after I flew into the airport about a month ago, My wish came true, construction everywhere and major areas blocked off. Was a real mess to transit through. Next on my list would be Johannesburg O.R Tambo. They seem to be doing some renovations there but not nearly enough, it is one of the worst if not the worst airport I have ever used in my life. I don't really have a hate against a certain airport that I want it gone, just upgraded.

La Guardia International Airport (LGA) in New York is an airport that deserves to be almost completely rebuilt. Most of the terminals are small, cramped and dilapidated, the logistics if departing through it are awful and the whole thing looks like a hold out from 1973.

Well I think all of these need renovations (some of them are thankfully getting it)

 

Heathrow (T3) - Outdated, ugly and a rabbit warren of bleak corridors.

Hong Kong - Honestly I don't know why people like this airport it's a pain to transit through and large amounts of walking to get anywhere if you're not fortunate enough to have a gate at the right end of the pier.

Dubai Concourses B&C - They're outdated and dirty as anything.

LAX - Do I even need to say?

Sydney

Perth

Auckland

Jo'berg

Harare

Salgado Filho airport in Porto Alegre. It is a small airport with a short runway; Terminal 1 is good, but Terminal 2 is very old. They are making a new terminal, but as it is in Brazil, do not know if it will be finished

Houston Hobby should be burned to the ground... IAH is King.

 

Also, I like using LaGuardia, but I feel it should be updated majorly.

1. LaGuardia is nice to use for connections, going to NYC, etc., but the terminals could use some excessive renovation. 

2. Minor one I remember flying at was Rochester (ROC). Pretty dated iirc

LHR, FRA, CDG, AMS, FCO. Pretty obvious why.

I thought of one more that needs a little more thought into connections: DFW.

 

I had an about 40 min connection from International to Domestic.  Only 4 customs lanes w/ well over 150 people waiting.  That literally took up at leats 40 mins in line.  not to mention the line bolocked nearly every baggage claim.  There weren`t even official lane until the very end so there was one very long winding lane. 

 

Well here`s the part where it could be better.  We were told that our gate got switched from the C terminal to the D terminal.  But to get to the train is another long set of stairs.  Maybe they could put an escalator or elevator rather than us lug carry-ons up the stairs while running, then back down after we get off the train.  Surely there`s a better solution.

Boston Logan currently has to have international arrivals wait for 30+ minutes on the tarmac on arrival because we do not have enough customs and immigration capacity to handle the european arrival rush. Definitely we need a new international terminal to handle the new routes we've been getting.

How has nobody said Berlin Tegel yet? After you get through security there aren't any bathrooms in the waiting area for your plane so if you need to go you have to leave and do security all over again or hold it. Also the waiting areas are tiny.
