No BTR no care
Those big glass windows and chairs they have right inside the concourse that overlook the runways are a nice touch.

Seems like Dallas would be on that list. Oh well, back to paying for Non working Americans that suck the life out of this country.

Beijing's airport, while efficient, blows chunks. No bars except for in the middle of the damn thing and nothing to do. Horrible place for a layover. I don't know how the hell it beat out several dozen American airports. Hell, I'd say Shanghai has a better airport than it does.

Dallas sucks when you want to make a tight connection.

What about ATL?
Atlanta is the world's busiest airport by far with nearly 100 million passengers in 2014. Dallas is also within the top 10 in the world based on the number of passengers.
The list in the OP is "top airports" as voted for by a group of fliers. Who knows if they've actually flown through all of them...but it seems to be based on amenities and number of non stop flights.

Most large airports do. I've never missed a flight out of Dallas (over 300 flights).
Also, Narita in Japan, I would think, would beat others from Japan mentioned on the list. Basically, this list is BS.

If I'm going back to Japan: I really would like to see NGO or KIX.
HKG is one of the GOAT.
Do want to see ICN and SIN.
