latest videos for this list we're
looking at some of the worst airports in
the world taking into account their
reputation and ratings on various review
sites as well as their prominence Hong
Kong International Airport Hong Kong
honestly we almost feel bad starting off
this list with Hong Kong International
with 65,000 employees working for them
it's clear that the airport's management
is trying their best
unfortunately compared to other top two
your airports from around the world it
simply doesn't perform as well in terms
of traveler feedback then again with
over 68 million passengers travelling
through it every year you can understand
why customer satisfaction might be hard
to improve relative to its peers Hong
Kong International falls short in terms
of food and beverage options it's by no
means a culinary wasteland but it could
stand to improve especially opening
hours another common issue are delays
according to air helped calm it scores a
six point two on ten in this regard
over at airline quality calm the most
common complaints have to do with lack
of seating poor signage and
unsurprisingly long wait times Newark
Liberty International Airport Newark New
Jersey if there's one thing that most of
these airports share in common it's that
they're prone to tardiness Newark
however is an exception according to air
help calm Newark on average scores a
halfway decent score of six point seven
on ten in terms of its on-time
performance unfortunately that's just
about the only metric by which Newark
seems to be passing looking at various
review sites
it seems that travelers can't find
enough bad things to say about it long
lines check dirty terminals check
terrible Wi-Fi rude staff and a lack of
quality or affordable food and beverages
check check and double check first
opened in nineteen
twenty-eight newark definitely has age
working against it but aging facilities
alone can't account for the many ways in
which this airport falls short of
traveler expectations to quote the
heading of one review passengers are
apparently quote disgusted by the
experience couch Dusseldorf Germany
Germany is a nation known for its
organizational excellence unfortunately
it would seem that no one told that to
Dusseldorf International Airport the
third busiest airport in Germany after
Munich and Frankfurt both of which
perform notably better than Dusseldorf
this airport sees over 24 million
passengers passed through its terminals
in the average year based on reviews at
airline quality comm however it would
seem that only four out of every ten
passengers were remotely satisfied with
the experience the most consistent and
recurring complaint has to do with the
queuing times the trademark Germany
efficiency is it would seem entirely
absent from this airport people also
give it low marks in terms of the
quality of food and beverages shops and
the airport staff on the bright side it
does seem to be a notably clean airport
and people give it high marks for the
clarity of the signage even if it does
get a little overly specific Edinburgh
Airport Edinburgh Scotland the Scottish
capital is an absolutely beautiful city
one that we highly recommend visiting if
you ever get the chance but considering
it's such a popular international
destination attracting over 4 million
visitors each year at festivals alone
it's hard to wrap your head around the
airport being such a big disappointment
add to that the fact that it's also a
major economic centre and it's easy to
understand why there are so many
disgruntled businessmen complaining
about it online as they say you only get
one chance to make a first impression
with only one runway and a single
passenger terminal to its name however
Edinborough Airport is seemingly doomed
to disappoint the 14 million passengers
who pass through it each year it simply
doesn't have the infrastructure to
handle that sort of volume people
frequently complain about the lack of
seating adding insult to injury they
also charge you a fee simply to go
through the drop zone rude customer
service poor Wi-Fi and uncomfortably
cold temperatures it's little wonder
that this airport has a three on ten on
airline quality com Paris Orly Airport
orally and Villeneuve Lavoie France
think she'll do gull is frustrating to
navigate well you're right it does
actually perform quite poorly compared
to other airports of its size and
prominence most complaints have to do
with the quality of service and the
frequency of delays with that being said
a trip that takes you through Paris Orly
Airport will give you a whole new
appreciation for shall de good if the
staff at the ladder is known to be
brusque and dismissive the employees at
Paris Orly are downright rude and while
Paris may be considered among the
greatest gastronomic capitals of the
world
passengers report having to pay a small
fortune to get anything resembling
decent food online reviews label Paris
Orly the most disorganized Airport and
advise would-be travelers to avoid it at
all costs there are even accusations of
security bending rules about what is and
isn't allowed in baggage in order to
steal from passengers such claims are of
course anecdotal but taken altogether
these comments don't paint Paris or the
airport in a very favorable light
Manchester Airport Manchester United
Kingdom Manchester is a destination that
requires very little introduction it's
home to the world-renowned soccer team
Manchester United a football club with
more trophies than any other club in the
country unfortunately the airport with
which they share the name Manchester has
become rather infamous in short
Manchester Airport feels really cheap
not in the sense that it's affordable
but rather that they cut corners and
attempt to squeeze as much money out of
customers as possible one of the
greatest sources of passenger
dissatisfaction is the fact that they
charge a drop-off fee that's right you
need to pay them if you're dropping off
a friend or family member there are also
frequent complaints about the terminals
being short-staffed dirty facilities
lack of accessibility and poor security
resulting in cars being burglarized in
2018 passengers had to be evacuated from
a waiting area when the floor threatened
to collapse
Eindhoven Airport North Brabant
Netherlands
this northwestern European nation is one
that everyone should attempt to visit at
least once in their lives and while
Amsterdam is obviously the major draw
the Netherlands has so much more to
offer as such we're big fans of people
exploring the countryside and other
cities like Harlem CUDA and Delft that
being said even if you do choose to
visit the southern province of North
Brabant you'll want to avoid eindhoven
airport despite it being the logical
point of entry opened in 1932 it's the
second largest airport in the country
but far from second best some of the
biggest and most common complaints heard
about Eindhoven is that in stark
contrast to the country's stellar
reputation for hospitality the employees
tend to be quite rude then there are the
wait times any journey through eindhoven
airport comes with a complimentary side
of extremely long lines and a general
lack of efficiency lisbon Portela
airport lisbon portugal with some of the
lowest prices in western europe and its
rich history and culture Portugal has
recently become something of an it
destination Lisbon in particular has
proven so popular with international
travelers that many are calling it the
next Venice in a good way though a trip
to Lisbon is sure to be unforgettable
you might want to fly in to another
airport or find a land-based alternative
method to get to the city according to
Eyre help comms 2019 evaluation of major
airports around the world
Lisbon Portela also known as Humberto
Delgado Airport is literally as bad as
they come it scores a 7.3 on its quality
of service 7.4 for the food and shops
available and then really earns its poor
reputation with an abysmal 4.7 on 10 for
its on-time performance in short it's
all but guaranteed that you'll
experience a delay at Lisbon Portela
