Best airports

Anywhere with outdoor seating imo, Corfu used to be decent but not flown there for years, Geneva was decent, Palma had outside seating. Dubai is possibly the most surreal airport i’ve ever been, Singapore was quality.

Manchester

Dubai, without a doubt

Blackpool or Barton, surely?

Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

Mentioned on other thread how good regional airports are. 
Leeds Bradford is dead small but when I used to get domestic flights for work would leave home about an hour before flight was due and would catch it comfortably.

International flights for States go via Dublin so dead easy.

There are limited holidays flights other than JET2 these days but landing and knowing would be home within 30 minutes of wheels on the ground was great. 
I know internationally with connecting flights you can spend a decent amount of time say about but for me a good measure of an airport is how little time you spend there. Travelling missus and kids when younger never has the adage 'time is money' been so true. 

Manchester Airport & Leeds Bradford are equidistant from me, but it takes about 30 mins longer to get to LBA.

However, I can be parked up, checked in, through security and having a pint/breakfast sooner if I go to Leeds.

Skiathos,  check in and go back outside to taverna

When we landed there had to queue alongside runway till next plane landed as the baggage handlers wanted to do 3 flights at once rather than 1 at a time, baggage from all 3 flights came off together. 

St Lucia, the one in the Castries (North of the island). Check in then go and have a few beers in the beach bar across the road until 15 mins before your flight departs

 

Modlin just outside Warsaw, across the road from the entrance is a large grassy area with sun loungers tables and a restaurant

I would love to fly 1st class but fuck me it is expensive with any airline.

To be fair it is probably wasted on me anyway, a good few drinks and I am asleep upright regardless!

Dubai is great although it's like a city within a city, some long treks. The lounges have a smoking section great for me.

To be fair the BA first class lounge at T5 is excellent serves up kippers with poached eggs washed down with whatever one desires.

Will you fuckers stop it with the 1st class lounge drops ffs! 🤨
