Today: Top 10 best airports in the world<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Getting to or from a travel destination can be an exhausting experience, not least because of the stressful airport experience which can make traveling a real chore. If you’ve ever been stranded at an airport for more than a few hours because of a long layover or a delayed flight, you know how frustrating and boring it can be. However, stopovers have become considerably less miserable in certain airports that seem to get it right by taking their services and amenities up a serious notch. Improvements include high-quality dining venues, world-class shopping malls packed with haute boutiques, exhilarating leisure facilities from IMAX movie theaters to golf courses and rooftop pools, and designated quiet zones that come under the form of zen gardens, museums and luxurious spas. While I never hope for a long stopover, here’s my selection of the 10 best airports across the world where I don’t mind being stuck for a few hours.<\/p>\n

10. HEATHROW AIRPORT, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

Heathrow Airport – more commonly known as London Heathrow – is the largest of London’s 6 international airports, the other ones being Gatwick, Stansted, London City, Luton and Southend. \u00a0With a record 80 million passengers in 2019 (pre-covid), Heathrow ranks as the seventh busiest airport in the world by total passenger traffic. While the airport is not convenient when you have to switch terminals between flights, its Terminal 2 (officially known as the Queen’s Terminal) and its 15 year old Terminal 5 (with two satellite terminals) are great and airy spaces to spend a couple of hours before a flight. These terminals offer some of the best and most abundant airport shopping and dining in the world, with heaps of high-end boutique shops, a Harrods outlet, and a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. Unfortunately, this is a sharp contrast to the Terminals 3 and 4, which feature an old and tired design. Heathrow serves as the main hub for British Airways (which mainly uses terminal 5, in addition to terminal 3) and Virgin Atlantic (which mainly operates from terminal 3).<\/p>\n
