Best airport on the planet!
So with the new arrivals terminal opening and the new airport due to open in 2011/2012 who thinks Doha could even aspire to this level of customer service and satisfaction. At the moment Doha airport is by far and away the worst airport in every category that I have ever experienced.

@ azamat yes I have been to both those airports and Doha is still a dump compared to Paris and London.
Thats not fair, if i had an airstrip on my driveway at home I would think it the best also! ;0)
The best airport is in my home town.. Only one air strip, 50 meters walk takes you from the front gate of the airport to the aircraft :-P
I know some of the staff personally and they help me out as much as they can.
5 minutes drive from home..
Best airport ever :D
Raven, Doha airport is the pits. And yes i have been to CDG and Heathrow.
"At the moment Doha airport is by far and away the worst airport in every category that I have ever experienced." Raven1968 - Have you experienced Heathrow and CDG Paris? Give me DIA anyday please.
Plenty in the business lounge...
Tegucigalpa has to have the scariest landing pattern I've ever experienced.

All the worlds most expensive toys and gadgets that money can buy will not make for a world class airport unless there is a sea change in the attitude of the persons who will be working at this facilities.
Changi in Singapore is in a league of its own. Its more then a world class airport whose practices other airports would love to emulate
If you go on the Approach then i would say Kathmandu is one of the most difficult approach to make specially in Bad weather, Clouds tend to be at 100 Feet AGL...
And old Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, with IGS Approach, 5 miles from the Mountain pilot had to take 25 degree bank on the right to line up with the center line...
@ aasghar a conserative guess would be about 60, and Doha is by far the crapiest...and why do you say "it seems you have visited 100's of airports"...I said Doha is the worst airport I've experienced!!
Raven it seems you have visited at least hundreds of Airports in world, Can you plz tell how many airport you have seen?
Arcel... lol
No Saj, I am not bashing Saudis. I know lots and they are nice people. I'm bashing the airport.
jack, you ninny! i'll be using my scooter. not much risk if i fell..lol...
If you are mentioning about liquor, ur right there is no chance for booze, even in duty free shop also.. in that category it is worst.. or just u wanna bash against Saudi.. you can say anything... and we know Y ur against Saudi.... and the other things that you mentioned about it... totally nonsence...
Tinker...lol I already driven Arcel mad... on the "meeting single guy thread"... lol
Raven, it's worse than shyte!
No booze, one crappy lounge, two sandwich stands, and everyone smoking in front of the 'no smoking' signs.
Boarding is a nightmare, customs and immigration are racists through and through.
I used to drive 4 hours to Bahrain instead!
Arecel... careful.... if you hit the VIP R/A... you wont be able to take U-Turn...
Wow! Singapore's Changi seems way too cool... :)
thanks arien..
go straight till you hit the VIP roundabout , take a U turn and on your righthand side.
anyone here knows the location of the new airport arrivals? what's the route to take if you come from corniche?
can't say I have been there Baldrick, not good either I take it?
The New terminal is a temporary solution. It was made becasue the new airport project is getting delayed.
You've never been to Riyadh then? :o(
