Pierre, SD airport before the new terminal was built



Outside the US, Isla Contadora in Panama. There is no building, just a very short runway with water on either end. Beautiful approach though.

Paducah Ky... Only one flight (to Memphis). The terminal area was a vending room. They wouldn't let you go through security until the plane was ready to board.

My top 5 worst (regardless of size)
Philly
Newark
Memphis
St Louis

IDK why but the folks in Tallulah La swear Delta started there as a crop dusting business before moving to Monroe and later ATL. There are some big arse hangers in Tallulah to this day. If I was Delta I would never claim Tallulah as my birth place.

In the US? BR
Outside the U.S. is Dalaman airport in Turkey. Might have something to do with the fact that we flew in at midnight, hoping that our ride service would be there. That was sketchy. Good memories there. Either that or port au prince

Exuma International in the Bahamas. GGT is my favorite airport code, but it's chee wee for sure. Immigration is a yellow line and a Bahamian lady stamping ur stuff. Baggage claim is literally a square hole in the wall they throw bags through and customs is a lady asking what's in the bag. All within about 25 steps. Awesome!

Agree. Flew in and out of there for work one time. Made Green Acres look like a metropolis. Swear to God thought me and my team were only folks from USA ever to experience this place....I can sleep well tonight knowing someone else would believe us if we told them about this place

First of all, I had to google what "chee wee" was. I highly recommend doing a giggle images search for it. You won't be disappointed

Im not sure if it applies, but Tegucigalpa is pretty damn bad.

Tortugero Costa Rica. The building didn't look this nice when we were there. But it's an awesome place to fly in and out of, out on a spit of land between the ocean and a river.

In the US, Jacksonville, NC back in the 1970's. Flying in there on a 727, the plane almost hit the top on the trees landing, full thrust to stop and even ran out of run way on to the grass. Had over shot it. Scared the living crap out of everybody on board. After it was over, they told everybody it happens a few times a year there.

For a bigger, busier airports, Newark, Philly and Laguardia are pretty bad.

I don't fly anymore because of Philly's airport.

Malabo, Equatorial Guinea

Back then it was just a small open air cinder block building. There were these slots in the back of the building where they just threw your baggage into a pile.
