Murmansk - in February with no heating and an 8 hour delay. I was glad to get to Sheremyetovo (another dump of an airport).

Philip Goldson airport, Belize. International shit hole. Tegucigalpa Honduras, makes Belize airport seem like heaven. Atlanta, Georgia, a massive hub with no-one who has a clue. Probably got a downer on the last as we were at gate 7 for a flight to Las Vegas, then told gate change to 23 right at the other end of the airport. 10 minutes later, gate change to 14 which was right next to gate 7 where we first started.
UK airports are all crap, Heathrow dirty and disorganised (especially BA). Most of them appear to be shopping centres with an airport tacked on. No water to be taken through to departures but you can buy a little bottle for £2.50 when you get there, absolute rip-off. Birmingham, couldn't get a cup of coffee at 6.30 am but the bleeding bar was open! Advice on going to Orlando, don't choose Orlando International, opt for Sandford instead. It might take longer to get to Orlando but it'll take hours to get through customs and car hire at International, at least Sandford has a bit of organisation about it.
Come to think of it, can't think of a decent airport. Dulles at Washington wasn't too bad and they have those cool buses that clamp onto the side of the aircraft and whisk you to the arrival lounge. They look at you a bit odd when you ask for a pitcher of beer and don't want a glass, though. Straight out of the pitcher, thank you very much.I can say the name of that railway station in Wales, as well.

Paris Orly. Got to the gate in my wheelchair.
Frog. "where's your minder?"
Me. "I don't have one."
Frog. "You cannot go on the aeroplane alone."
Me. "I arrived alone."
Frog. "It is not allowed"
Me. "It was allowed when I arrived."
...and so on until they were ready to close the gate then the officious bastard waved me through.
I fucking hate Paris!
Other than that, Gander. Not only is the airport crap, bloody cold and in the middle of nowhere, but the coffee was the worst I've ever had the misfortune to drink!What your average soldier wants -- really, really wants -- is no-one shooting back at him. (Sir Terry Pratchett)

Fort Lauderdale, near Miami. Pikey to say the least.

In reply to Dale's opinion of Brize - I never really had a problem with Crab central. South Cerney on the other hand...what a bunch of twats.
