TERMINAL 1 of the Ninoy Aquino International has been voted the world’s worst airport this year—down from fifth worst in April—by the online guide to sleeping in airports (http://sleepinginairports.net).
The online site has served as the guide and travel blog of the travel community for the last 15 years, and for sharing their airport sleeping experiences around the world.
The site tells travelers on which airports they can sleep safely and comfortably, and which they should avoid altogether on their next trip.
Since 1996 the online budget traveler guide has featured the best and worst airports in the world annually based on the comments posted by passengers and travelers.
The following airports have been voted as the sleepers’ least favorite for reasons such as safety concerns, lack of comfortable seating, rude staff, hostile security, poor facilities, no (or few) services to pass the time, bribery, being kicked out, and the general hassles of just being in any of them.
The 10 worst airports in the world (the top being that listed as No. 1):
1 Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1
2 Beauvais-Tillé Airport (85 km north of Paris)
3 Iceland’s Keflavík International Airport
4 Caravaggio Airport Bergamo Orio al Serio in Bergamo, Italy
5 Kyiv (Zhuliany) International Airport in Ukraine
6 Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Germany)
7 Luton International Airport (England)
8 Pisa Galileo Galilei International Airport (Italy)
9 Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris
10 Los Angeles International Airport.
“I’ve traveled to many airports and have stayed overnight at some of them, but nothing compares to the experience at NAIA,” traveler Shizumasa said.
“In short, it’s a horrible waste of time, and you should all hold onto your wallets as tightly as possible. I especially advise any foreign travelers to avoid this airport. The amount of corruption and bribery is just mind blowing.”
In Malacañang, presidential spokeswoman Abigail Valte said the Aquino administration was doing all it could to rehabilitate the Ninoy airport.
“We are addressing the concerns,” she said.
“We know it is already an old airport. Eric B. Apolonio, Joyce Pangco Pañares, Manila Standard Today
