London Heathrow terminal 4 is also quite bad. My first visit to this airport while traveling aboard Air India from Mumbai was an invitation from a bunch of crackheads in the men's restroom . Terminal 5, in contrast is much better.
With a £20 booking fee on top, £10 admin fee, £30 for a suitcase, £15 for a sandwich, £5 for a cup of tea, £1 to use the loo etc..
We were stranded in Malta when the Iceland volcano erupted & had flown here with Ryanair. They were no help AT ALL, infact the Ryanair boss on Sky News actually said about their stranded passengers that it was "tough"... We had to queue at Luqa airport for 6 hours to be told by the ONE Ryanair member of staff at the desk that the earliest flight they could book us on was in 10 days, the Easyjet queue next to us was moving swiftly & putting their customers up in hotels & all other airlines were adhering to their legal obligations & putting up passengers in hotels too, but Ryanair refused so we had to make our own arrangements & it took us months to get any form of compensation or refunds for the extra we had to shell out! A horrid, vile company, run by a smug, nasty little man
In contrast, Nice probably has one of the most centrally located airports for any city. (Gibraltar wins I guess). It's only 5km from the city centre and actually located in the city itself, a stone's throw away from the business district and the beaches.
It is so close to the city that, except in case of major emergency, planes are prohibited to use thrust reversal as a braking system because it is too noisy.
The airport itself is relatively bland and uninteresting in terms of amenities, but its location and settings are spectacular.
San Jose's airport is similar and close enough it restricts skyscrapers from being built.
Helsinki Airport is 18 km from the city center, and even if it's close enough, the bus takes 40 minutes and is a bit inconvenient. The rail link will be up in 2015 so it will cut 10 minutes of traveling time.
Bangalore airport is 42 km from the city center. Its a well maintained airport which is sufficiently large, but without an expressway or public transit link to the city. And I just discovered Owen has successfully manipulated the happy thread into an unhappy thread through ignorant comments. Please avoid doing this in future. I now end up going to happy threads in other forums to express happiness.
Meanwhile, I succeeded in undergoing a 25 lb weight loss through my personal fitness program .
