Airports Worse Than Dalaman for Something...

I am not at all well travelled but Sumburgh Airport does seem to have more than it's fair share of jobsworths per square metre:(

Agree with H - not a nice place to get stuck at, but luckily it has not been busy the times I have been there.

I obeyed the written instructions on the wall, took may laptop out of its case and put it on top of same.

Not good enough for this muppet who wanted the laptop and case in separate trays:(

Many years ago we flew in and out of Geneva Airport on a ski holiday. The round of 4 drinks at the airport was soooooo expensive we had to pay on credit card!

I hope the holiday wasn't all downhill from there.

Luxor airport. We were amongst several flights that poured in at once due to landing lights being off earlier and planes stacking. We queued for hours to get out, crammed in like sardines in what seemed like a glorified cattle shed. Made a rush hour dolmus seem quite roomy and comfortable!

I may be in a minority, but I do not find Dalaman airport too bad, apart from the ridiculous prices of the food and drinks. Some of the worst airports I've been to are mostly the Greek islands, Rhodes, Corfu and Crete, also Naples in Italy was totally chaotic and also Cairo.

I find the level of customs checks to be very good at Dalaman (i.e. next to none ) - I have always had a "something to declare" face I think and if one person a day at an airport got stopped it would be me. I even once got stopped at Gatwick after a flight from Dalaman and was asked how long I intended staying in the United Kingdom!!!

But for places worse than Dalaman, as the topic asks, when it comes to customs checks I nominate Abu Dhabi Airport in Emirateshire. The only place where I have been pulled over and had my bags searched twice in the same customs hall.

Changing planes in Brussels Airport is no fun - especially if your first plane is late. The Arrivals wing is a huge distance from Departures - which may be sited in Holland for all I know.
