What Are The 12 Worst Hunting Airports In The Globe?

Travel + Leisure has come out with their list of the “World’s Ugliest Airports,” a catalog of the world’s 12 largest visual disasters in the globe of aviation. Not surprisingly, some of the world’s most trafficked hubs best the listing.

Some pleasurable tidbits:

• New York’s JFK: “Especially loathed are the Delta terminals, which industrial designer David Gresham calls ‘filthy, dilapidated, and unclear in any sense of signage or direction.'”

• Paris’ Charles de Gaulle: “[the airport] has rendered every person who will work there sociopathic. Its employees are literally unable to empathize with the appalling experiences they inflict on passengers.”

• And probably most damning, London’s Heathrow: “This is a terminal for a nation that had misplaced an empire and did not know its function in the globe, or what style of architecture would reflect this.” Ouch.
