Just because you bought flight tickets instead of the bus doesn’t assure you a pleasant experience. In fact, going through all the procedural hassles might be the worst of all experiences. However, not all airports are the same. Some airports like Singapore’s Changi International Airport provide travelers with world-class pleasant experiences. But on the other end of it, there are some of the worst airport terminals in the world which can be a frustrating experience for its passengers.
5 Worst Airport Terminals In The World
1. Port Harcourt International Airport, Nigeria
Imagine a big tent! Yeah, that’s your airport. No seating facility. No air conditioning. This airport is the worst airport terminal in the world. Let’s not get started on the manner of the unhelpful and uncooperative staff.
2. Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport, Saudi Arabia
The reviews show that this airport is literally chaos. There are rules that nobody seems to follow, like smoking in a non-smoking area. Extreme Delays. Careless and irresponsible immigration officers. Layovers of about 20-30 hours. Seriously!?
3. Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport, Nepal
At least our only international airport didn’t rank as the top worst. That’s a relief. While the international terminal is “okay”, the domestic terminal seems like a bus station. Delays, overcrowded, and horrific bathroom conditions are what makes it one of the worst airport terminal in the world.
4. Tashkent International Airport, Uzbekistan
You need not worry about your place in the line, because there is no line at all. Because there is a mob. You have to fight hard to defend your spot in the line of passengers. Worst of all, there is no crowd control. So you are your own savior. God bless.
5. Port au Prince Toussaint Louverture International Airport, Haiti
We can’t blame much for this conflict-worn country. The service is limited, expensive, and of the worst quality. If you can hold it, it’s better not to use the bathrooms. Unbearable heat. Untrustworthy staffs. It’s advised to keep your valuables with you all the time.
Besides these top 5 worst airport terminals in the world, try to keep off few others off your next destination. Traveling through Caracas Simón Bolívar International Airport (Venezuela), Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport (Afghanistan), Ho Chi Minh City Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport (Vietnam) and Islamabad Benazir Bhutto International Airport (Pakistan) can be the worst experience ever for you.
