Lee Abbamonte describes airports as ‘a necessary evil’ – where he aims to spend as little time as possible.
But some are far better than others, and as someone who has been to over 700 airports worldwide, including every single one in America, the 45-year-old jet-setter is in a unique position to judge.
As New Yorker who lived in Manhattan for 21 years, Abbamonte says he has personal beef with the Big Apple’s three major airports – particularly John F.
Dirty bathrooms, a lack of comfortable seating and confusing terminal maps – these are just a few of the complaints when it comes to the worst airports in the US.

Not one American airport gets a five star ranking, compared to three in Europe and nine
Well, here we are folks, at the end of another turbulent year.
When we put this list together at the end of 2022, its contents largely covered something many of us thought we would not see again in our lifetime: a major war in Europe. Now, we are grappling with two wars in our immediate neighborhood, as the slaughter drags on in Ukraine, and conflict rages between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

It looked like group therapy. One late summer day, Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, sat with a group of faith leaders and clean-air campaigners in a small circle in the near-empty hall of a suburban church.
The moment was meant to be one of celebration, for Khan and for London. He was marking the creation of the largest clean air zone in the Western world through the expansion of restrictions on polluting cars to cover the entire British capital,
KORNIDZOR, Armenia — Many of the men waiting at the Armenian border have been there for days.
When news broke on Tuesday that Azerbaijan had launched a major attack into the ethnic-Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, dozens of them pulled on warm jackets and wooly hats and drove towards the checkpoint. Now they can only watch the road, once the sole highway cutting through the mountains to the breakaway region where their families live, hoping their relatives are able to get

The drone “was suppressed by electronic warfare equipment and, having lost control, crashed on the territory of a complex of nonresidential buildings in Moscow city,” the ministry said in a statement.

Innsbruck Airport in Austria and Madeira Airport are both regulars in lists of the world’s most hair-raising landings for passenger aircraft. And for good reason.
Innsbruck Airport is surrounded by towering 9,000ft mountains and pilots sometimes have to cope with the ‘Foehn wind’, which can create strong turbulence near the runway.
Planes landing and taking off at Madeira Airport, meanwhile, can’t fly directly in and out because of rocky promontories at either end of the runway, so must bank in
In 2004, Steven Spielberg made an entire movie about the terror of getting stuck for months in an airport, but I might be happy never to leave the new LaGuardia
Air travel itself, the part where you are crammed like a rodent into a metal tube, is clearly miserable. So is everything in its orbit: the barfsome cab from the city, the shameful indignity of security, the sullen panic of being away from home, and—most of all—the ghastly purgatory of

The year 2022 will go down in the history books. And it includes a chapter few wanted to see written: War returned to Europe.
