Whats your fav airport?

BoeingFlyer11 · 05-31-2009, 01:49 PM

Mine is...

Chicago O'Hare (ORD) in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

I love this airport!!!!!!!

Flyin' Hawaiian · 05-31-2009, 01:53 PM

Honolulu of course!

ccs757 · 05-31-2009, 02:02 PM

mine is easy to guess!

Madrid Barajas Airport, MAD/LEMD

Pictures by me!

jmoegh · 05-31-2009, 02:53 PM

I agree with you. I love seeing all the Hawaiian Airlines(to bad no more Aloha) giving it that tropical feeling. Reef runway!

For me, SYD, LHR, FRA and CYYZ of course!

rapleylikeba · 05-31-2009, 04:46 PM

For me, it's Heathrow. I can only say that it's my favourite because it's the only one I know a lot about (as I'm there quite often) and it is the home of British Airways. I wouldn't say it's a great airport, because it isn't very good if you want to do some decent filming of aircraft taking off. It's too restricting there. If only there wasn't so much terrorism or fear of terrorism. I suppose I should blame the IRA as the reason for all of the barriers up on the fences.

If I could visit Manchester (I still haven't), then MAN would probably be my favourite. Great for plane spotting and great for filming! If the A380 ever begins services there in the future once the airport is ready for regular services with them, I'm sure that the best footage of the A380 in service will come from people who film at Manchester. Take mcpcshowcase/mcpcshowcaseHD and blueb0g on YouTube for example.

neil330 · 05-31-2009, 05:07 PM

Rap, whats the "RIA"?

For me, I'm liking the look of the new Dublin airport, when it's done, it should be world-class!

You can't possibly blame the IRA for having fences around LHR!

No, fences are at every airport. I'm just blaming the high security and those pannels that block the view on them.

If there were no fences, people would run onto the runway and kill themselves.

I blame many of these things on political conflicts, religious conflicts and science (if you know what I mean).

Parminder27 · 05-31-2009, 10:44 PM

Amsterdam Schiphol, AMS/EHAM is my favourite!

I took this picture on Feb. 27

A Tupolev · 06-01-2009, 12:50 AM

AUS Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is favorite. Easy to get in, easy to get out. Great mix of restaurants including some great BBQ. Live music entertainment most afternoons.

wsssaero · 06-01-2009, 08:45 AM

Singapore Changi (SIN/WSSS), my home airport. Hardly good for spotting within the terminals but there're many specials to be seen if you have a lucky day.

Jeff0530 · 06-01-2009, 01:42 PM

St Maarten - Princess Juliana - SXM - First time there was last year for my Honeymoon. Was a blast and every bit as amazing as the pics show it to be.

AAMD11 · 06-02-2009, 12:53 AM

New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport

peak airways · 06-02-2009, 01:38 AM

I have to say Denver International. Easy to navigate and just an overall pleasant experience.

Seluryar · 06-02-2009, 04:48 PM

out of the few airports i have been to, i enjoyed MSP, so many red tails, thats where i fell in love with the Northwest Airlines Bowling Shoe livery

Roarer · 06-02-2009, 06:44 PM

Tingwall of course!!

aerolineas101 · 06-03-2009, 12:24 AM

GUA: inside the terminal you have a great view of the citys skyline and its Brand new.
San salvador airport (SAL) is stuck in the 80's and did i mention its about 25 miles away from the capital city.

Takeo von Tucher · 06-03-2009, 01:02 AM

Mine is usualy the one, where I come home... so for now its GYN (Santa Genoveva in Goiânia, Brazil)... I love it, when I come from rainy, windy and cold São Paulo (CGN) to the warm and sunny and small airport of Goiânia.

BTW: in São Paulo (CGN) I am always scared: it's so crouded and so much airplane traffic...

Those panels were also put there at that height to stop people and plane spotters from slowing down or stopping in their cars because it was becoming a major problem! Hence when in a car you can see booger all, yeh LHR is a poor place to spot now. Still its always worth poppin round when we go to Just Burgers Plus in Bedfont!!

Prestwick Pioneer · 06-03-2009, 01:48 PM

My favourite Airport is Prestwick, kinda has to be really.... we had our own airline, aircraft were designed and built here,major overhaul facilities existed servicing everything from Dakotas to Starfighters, there was a USAF Airbase, a classy old terminal, we had airshows, Concordes..... Oh i could go on, let the pics do the talkin, bring it on and theres plenty more on A.Net, go and enjoy

United Airlines DC-10 · 06-03-2009, 05:04 PM

Greensboro NC of course.

It's close, has a decent number of flights and some unique airlines thanks to TIMCO.

I was working at Charlotte last month, thats a lovely airport too, I was very impressed. Really well laid out and 727s abounded there, go 3 holer!! Sadly didnt get up to Greensboro as we were workin all day every day and I wanted to go to Maxton/Laurinburg too, got to Concord tho, but it was dark so we just went shopping at the Mills!! :0(

ct2399 · 06-04-2009, 11:04 AM

JFK and SAP.
JFK cause I live in NY and it's the one I use the most...
SAP cause it's my hometown's airport and I love how simple it is...nothing crazy, nothing outrageous...I would also say MIA but you need a map to move around in that airport...lol

PHX69 · 06-04-2009, 04:32 PM

Phoenix Sky Harbor. I remember it in the 70's and 80's when the TWA and Amreican 707's and the Delta DC-8's were flying there. Hughes Air West was pretty big there as well flying DC-9's, and F-27's and even B-727's.

Prestwick Pioneer · 06-04-2009, 06:38 PM

Sky Harbor is such a cool name for an Airport. Thats another thread I think.Hmmmm

And here it is. Please go and discuss folks.......

ranchero · 06-04-2009, 11:58 PM

I have two favorite airports - both because of the spetacular approach view out of the left side of the airplane of the downtown - assuming the wind and runway are correct!

SAN - San Diego
AEP - Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery Aero Parque

- ranchero -

ps - if on the right side of the airplane, SEA - Seattle/Tacoma approaching from the north provides a pretty good view of downtown too.

B773ER · 06-05-2009, 12:48 AM

SFO would be my favourite

MikeDelta · 06-05-2009, 02:20 AM

I have 4, if that's okay. First, is because of the planes fly right over your head. 2nd, is because its located in my dream city where i would like to live. 3rd, is because i am from California, and because of the variety of Airlines seen there. Plus it has the best spotting location that i've been to so far, Sepulveda Blvd. And, 4th, although i am from California. I moved to Kentucky. I see alot of my favorite airline here, because of its hub.

1. St. Maarten/Princess Juliana Intr'l - TNCM
2. San Diego Intr'l (Lindbergh Field) - KSAN
3. Los Angeles Intr'l - KLAX
4. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intr'l - KCVG

I have a Minor Airport Favorite too, which is my favorite because my Friend works there at the fuel pit, and i go there a whole lot with my Dad. It is located in California too.

1. Brackett Field/La Verne - KPOC

MikeDelta · 06-05-2009, 02:27 AM

Roarer · 06-06-2009, 11:46 AM

The oil terminal at Sullom Voe on the Shetlands, when the BAE 146s take off and they stop the traffic on the road round the end of the runway.
Need to go and stand on one of the nearby surrounding hills and watch.

Sumburgh is where the road goes over the runway and also the road goes down the side of one of the runways with nothing more than a small wooden fence between the runway and the road.

Tingwall is good as you can walk down the field right next to the runway and watch them little BN Islanders land at close quarters. Also, you can see it all from the carpark, as that's practically where the plane stops between flights!

Another great little airport is Kirkwall in the Orkneys. You just walk into the building, go to the back where the windows are, and there are all the planes sitting there. You can watch them land, taxi up, unload/load, refuel etc, and then depart again.
and you are there with all the passengers as well, as they go out of doors right next to the aforementioned windows.
It is mainly the likes of SAABs' and BN Islanders, but, still!

It is also where you get the record breaking 2 minuite flight between Westray and Papa Westray as one of the daily inter island flights they do.

If there is space on the Islander, you can buy a tourist ticket, where you simply stay on the plane for the round trip between the different islands (you can get off at the different 'stops' and take pictures, but you have to depart with the plane) . You have to book this within 30 minuits of departure however, meaning that you have to be pretty close to the airport, if not already at the airport for it to work!

This tourist ticket applies to all of the different flights they do, as they do not do one big grand tour of all the islands in one flight, you have to do several flights to see all the different routes.

I'll get to the likes of Barra one of these days!! I suspect that it might become my favourite when I do, as that's where they land on the beach!!

jmoegh · 06-07-2009, 12:44 AM

omg!!! I played that golf course shown in the picture. Its called mountain meadows golf course i remember. I still have the 2 year old memories seeing both the airport and the horse racing track. Golf is fun... and so are airplanes!

Montego Bay Sangster International Airport been there once loved it

azuddin777 · 06-07-2009, 09:10 PM

LAX is on top of my list. That is one airport I've been in and out the most and even more then Kuala Lumpur itself.

Upkeep · 06-11-2009, 12:54 AM

Albeit my local is YYZ (Malton), my fave is: Prince George, BC (YXS), as that is my old hometown and the place where I fell in love with aviation as a kid. (That's it in my avatar, circa 1962) It gave me great delight to visit this little airport back in 2007. Such wonderful memories!

Others that 'excite' me are Schiphol (AMS), Orly (ORY), and Charles de Gaulle (CDG).

Shanghai · 06-11-2009, 01:03 AM

Mine would be YVR (Vancouver), mainly because of it's ambiance with the aboriginal canadian structures, and its modern design.

I was at YVR last summer and it has a really nice terminal, I just love the lights hanging from the ceiling.

DeltaGuy · 06-11-2009, 11:05 AM

OH MY GOSH! Mine is definitly The Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport!!!! Its the biggest! And the coolest! In my opinion.

arctic9048 · 06-11-2009, 01:04 PM

I actually like Knoxville McGhee-Tyson. I can't stand living here and I'll finally get to leave next year but little airports are nice. You park your car, you walk about 10 yards and you are in the terminal, you're through security in about 3 minutes, and it takes you no more than 10 seconds to identify your gate (Gates 1 - 12). It's all CRJ/ERJ (Except US Airways who likes to throw in a Dash 8 every now and then & occasionally Delta with a MD-88 or 757) here so the boarding process takes about 10 minutes, you're always #1 for takeoff, and you're good to go.

Commuter · 06-11-2009, 03:27 PM

I have been to numerous ones over the years having lived many places. I am still deciding what one is my favorite.

Yes I still have that in mind, just never got round to it yet, that's all!

By doing that I will then have to go the the Orkneys again afterwards and re - do a certain other flight, as otherwise, I will no longer be able to say that the last flight I ever did was the shortest scheduled flight in the world!

Landing on a beach does have kudos yes, of course, don't get me wrong, but when weighing up the options .....

Well, do both then.

. The only other beach landing site regularly in use is a military one that the Lyneham Hercs use. I want to land at Upavon in a C17!

KSNA for me. Love the Orange County/Newport Beach area. The fact that the place is named for John Wayne doesn't hurt either.

Meh, sounds too much like hard work!!

By the way EGPFGLA, I saw one of the Twotters circling over Dumbarton yesterday (Friday) at about 5.15pm as it (presumably) waited to land at Glasgow. It was low enough that I could actually take a reasonable look at it. And I was on a hill too.

Made a change from the Sea Plane that buzzes about like a fly all the time. Last plane I saw previously to this was a Queazyjet as it took off from Glasgow (as I passed in a bus on Thursday).

I have two favorite airports - both because of the spetacular approach view out of the left side of the airplane of the downtown - assuming the wind and runway are correct! SAN - San Diego AEP - Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery Aero Parque - ranchero - ps - if on the right side of the airplane, SEA - Seattle/Tacoma approaching from the north provides a pretty good view of downtown too.

First, is because of the planes fly right over your head. 2nd, is because its located in my dream city where i would like to live. 3rd, is because i am from California, and because of the variety of Airlines seen there. Plus it has the best spotting location that i've been to so far, Sepulveda Blvd. And, 4th, although i am from California. I moved to Kentucky. I see alot of my favorite airline here, because of its hub. 1. St. Maarten/Princess Juliana Intr'l - TNCM 2. San Diego Intr'l (Lindbergh Field) - KSAN 3. Los Angeles Intr'l - KLAX 4. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intr'l - KCVG I have a Minor Airport Favorite too, which is my favorite because my Friend works there at the fuel pit, and i go there a whole lot with my Dad. It is located in California too. 1. Brackett Field/La Verne - KPOC

The oil terminal at Sullom Voe on the Shetlands, when the BAE 146s take off and they stop the traffic on the road round the end of the runway. Need to go and stand on one of the nearby surrounding hills and watch. Sumburgh is where the road goes over the runway and also the road goes down the side of one of the runways with nothing more than a small wooden fence between the runway and the road. Tingwall is good as you can walk down the field right next to the runway and watch them little BN Islanders land at close quarters. Also, you can see it all from the carpark, as that's practically where the plane stops between flights! Another great little airport is Kirkwall in the Orkneys. You just walk into the building, go to the back where the windows are, and there are all the planes sitting there. You can watch them land, taxi up, unload/load, refuel etc, and then depart again. and you are there with all the passengers as well, as they go out of doors right next to the aforementioned windows. It is mainly the likes of SAABs' and BN Islanders, but, still! It is also where you get the record breaking 2 minuite flight between Westray and Papa Westray as one of the daily inter island flights they do. If there is space on the Islander, you can buy a tourist ticket, where you simply stay on the plane for the round trip between the different islands (you can get off at the different 'stops' and take pictures, but you have to depart with the plane) . You have to book this within 30 minuits of departure however, meaning that you have to be pretty close to the airport, if not already at the airport for it to work! This tourist ticket applies to all of the different flights they do, as they do not do one big grand tour of all the islands in one flight, you have to do several flights to see all the different routes. I'll get to the likes of Barra one of these days!! I suspect that it might become my favourite when I do, as that's where they land on the beach!! __________________ Humankind is at once both the most intelligent and most stupidest creatures ever to roam this earth. One day in the future, the other animals will once again inherit this earth as they are more clever than most of us will ever be and all they are doing is biding their time, humouring us, waiting for us all to kill each other before simply resuming what they were doing before we arrived and spoiled the party.

Albeit my local is YYZ (Malton), my fave is: Prince George, BC (YXS), as that is my old hometown and the place where I fell in love with aviation as a kid. (That's it in my avatar, circa 1962) It gave me great delight to visit this little airport back in 2007. Such wonderful memories! Others that 'excite' me are Schiphol (AMS), Orly (ORY), and Charles de Gaulle (CDG). /U __________________ "If it's new, I'll take two!" -- Grant McConachie

arctic9048 Widget, widget Join Date: Oct 2008 Age: 26 Posts: 376	Re: Whats your fav airport? I actually like Knoxville McGhee-Tyson. I can't stand living here and I'll finally get to leave next year but little airports are nice. You park your car, you walk about 10 yards and you are in the terminal, you're through security in about 3 minutes, and it takes you no more than 10 seconds to identify your gate (Gates 1 - 12). It's all CRJ/ERJ (Except US Airways who likes to throw in a Dash 8 every now and then & occasionally Delta with a MD-88 or 757) here so the boarding process takes about 10 minutes, you're always #1 for takeoff, and you're good to go. __________________ "I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal" -Ron Burgundy
