I will add to CDG. Ageing and ugly. T1 was absolutely awful with a very crowded check in area. You think of shops, restaurants etc at major airports, they aren’t even a word at CDG! The line to security is just one large swirl of corridors and walkways and the arrival hall is dark and complicated. The outside area where the lifts go from the carousels to the arrival hall is tedious and very dirty. The departure area has no shops of any interest, I was looking forward to buying a nice model or something and having a croissant-there was nothing! I ended up at a very expensive café on the top floor where the business lounges are. The satellites are also full of old seating and give little flight details. I thought there may be a shop or something but no nothing. Worst of all I got caught by a taxi tout. Though I did like the variety of airlines there.
CDG T2 was a bit better from what I remember of it (a long time ago). I should probably also add Barbados airport to the list, literally was a building site.
alwaysalert2,
I’m at Izmir in the summer though lucky enough I don’t have to get off the aircraft. Just a security stop before flying off to Northern Cyprus.
