Worst airports visited...

Benghazi, Libya, was pretty bad last time I was there, a few years ago I must admit. The entrance to the arrival hall was a hole knocked into a brick wall with a sledgehammer (by the look of it) and while waiting for our bags we were treated to the sight of some poor sod being kicked senseless by the security guards.
 
4. Toncontín International, Tegucigalpa, Honduras — Getting it stopped!

Perhaps I was a bit hasty on my assessment of Dallas, having landed in Chihuahua... :o

Hmmmmm... Not at all like I was expecting, not a small dog in sight!

It was weird, had to scan all bags again to exit the airport, then once I got the okay for that I started to walk out and someone shouted at me to come and press a big red button... Now, having the general understanding that red buttons are usually bad, to say I was hesitant is an understatement! I gingerly pressed it and a green exit sign came up... Phew... But why couldn't he press the button?? He had protective gloves on too!!

Domodedova (Moscow) because they take 2 hours to process you through immigration and the taxi into Moscow is another 2 hours. And I have to do it every week.

+2 and the name is hard to say! £100 for a visa then you have to queue for hours. Russia really, really needs to sort it's s**t out. Like I am really going to say, "oooh, I think I will stay here and not go home". Don't get me started on the hole in the ground toilets and the driving...... :cry:
 
Another airport, only for the flights, was Kai Tak when I lived in Hong Kong (before they built the new airport in '98). Landings there were an experience!
 
Easily Charles De Gaulle for me. Took so long to get through a relatively short security check that I missed my interconnecting flight. Also lost my luggage.

Not a pleasant place to be stuck in either.

And it think some guy lived in there...

I take it back about Dallas, the passport/airport staff etc seemed friendly which is very strange for US border control... Should I be worried?!

Raf Brize norton by far is worse than any...

It's never a flight somewhere nice, it's always delayed at least 24 hours, food is awful, accommodation while you're delayed is dire and there's no entertainment of any sort
+1 :thumbsup: followed by Bastion, Kandahar,Kabul, Minhad.....the list is endless :(
