Agree on all but Frankfurt. Schiphol in Amsterdam is a much better airport (less like an Arab refugee camp) and IMHO should have taken that spot on the list. Heathrow? They're joking, right? Dubai could take that spot. No opinion on Nagoya since taking the Shinkasen Bullet Train is always how I prefer to travel within Japan.

US airports, especially Dulles (nation's capital, for God's sake), are embarrassing when you think of the impression they make on foreign visitors.

The main problem with U.S. Airports, any U.S. Aiport, is the TSA and the cattle car boarding lines they breed.

FOUR of the top 13 airports are in Japan! You have to go down to #28 before you find the first one in the United States.

TSA cattle car boarding is a direct function of our unwillingness to profile. Any sane country in the world scans their airline passengers carefully. Only ours are obsessed with profiling "stuff" rather than people.
