  1. Worst airport is a relative term. We need some kind of methodology to compare.

    Regardless, I’m mildly surprised that Ho Chi Minh was on the list.

    I would personally add CDG in Paris (horrible hamster maze), Lagos in Nigeria, and Bagan and Inle Lake airports in Myanmar.

    1. Conditions already mentioned in the article.

      anyway to me worst just means crap… it is quite easy to tell a good airport and a bad one. the bad one just SUCKS.. to find the worst? which suck the most! easy.
