The Flight of Dreams theme park and the original Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The ‘world’s best regional airport’ houses a key part of aviation history

It’s easy to see why this place has been named the world’s best regional airport 11 years running. It’s a delight.

  • Rob McFarland
Palm Springs International Airport.

This must be one of America’s easiest – and most stylish – airports

Just three kilometres from town and designed by a master of modernism, this airport is the opposite of boring.

The airport and its crowd during a holiday period.

Set your expectations low and arrive early at this airport

There are increased flights from Australia, including with Qantas, but this place will make you appreciate the world’s great airports even more.

The landing at Nice is one of the most beautiful in Europe.

Utilitarian at best: The international airport the designers forgot

It’s a lot better than it was before the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but it’s still plain, uninspiring and sprawling.

  • Julietta Jameson
The 10-metre-tall Blue Mustang outside Denver Airport is universally known as Blucifer.

One of the world’s busiest airports gets a $2 billion upgrade

Ten years ago I waited in a snaking security queue that extended out into the snow. Now a $US1.3 billion refurbishment is making this airport one of the best.

  • Kate Allman
The Orchard at Hamad International Airport.

Best of the best: This is the ultimate airport

We can only dream of airport experiences being joyful and carefree because for the most part they are the opposite.

  • Ben Groundwater
Bright and breezy… waiting area at the terminal.

This Thai island airport may be my all-time favourite

Despite a bizarre experience with my luggage, Koh Samui’s airport keeps me in holiday mode a little longer.
