World's worst airports

A few highlights from this CNN article:
  • Some airports include "indoor pools, orchid gardens, and free wireless Internet." The best I've seen is the free massage at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, which comes with plants and jungle sounds.
  • At Lukla in Nepal "landing involves a hair-raising plummet onto an uphill airstrip cut into the side of a mountain. On takeoff, the airstrip comes to an abrupt end at the edge of a mountain cliff."
  • Mineralnye Vody airport in Russia gets mention for its "feral cats and daggers on sale in the departure lounge"
