Share

(Newser) – Incheon International airport in Seoul, South Korea, is the world's best, according to a British survey that took into account passengers' experiences with check-in, departures, transfers, and arrivals. Two other Asian airports, in Hong Kong and Singapore, finished second and third, the BBC reports.

The rest of the best:

  • Zurich
  • Munich
  • Kansai, Japan
  • Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
  • Amsterdam
  • Central Nagoya, Japan
  • Auckland, New Zealand
No airports in North America made the top 10, but the region's best were Dallas/Fort Worth, San Francisco, and Vancouver.

No American airports are in the top 10. No American city made the top 10 most liveable. Where are all the "America Number 1" lunkheads out there? Reply

Not reading these articles is where. Better to ignore your countries failings after years of thinking you were the chosen people. Haha. My mother-in-law is one of these people. She didn't believe me when, after having returned from a trip, I stated the Euro is worth more then the dollar. Who DOESN'T know that, you know? hah
