№1: Tan Son Nhat International Airport
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The airport in Ho Chi Minh City does not cope with the influx of visitors at rush hours, which is further complicated by lengthy control procedures, as well as detailed questions of customs officers and the filling in of various forms and papers. It happens that sometimes you have to spend 3-4 hours waiting in lines after arrival.
№2: Dubai International Airport
Dubai, UAE
The long sluggish lines and unhurried actions of border protection officers upon arrival in Dubai have already become the trademark of the emirate's main airport. Having to stand in a relatively short line can take up 40 to 60 minutes, and this is at best.
№3: Tashkent International Airport
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
If you have to go to this airport, plan extra time for long lines, occurring literally at every step. Moreover, tourists and visitors are continually crowded out from the lines by the artful locals, with whom, according to experienced travellers, sometimes you have to argue.
№4: Heathrow Airport
London, Great Britain
Heathrow is considered one of the safest airports, however you need to be prepared to spend your own time to help maintain all security measures. If you are planning a transit trip and you do not have enough time to change planes, keep in mind that even those who simply go from one terminal to another are passing strict control.
№5: Charles de Gaulle Airport
Paris, France
One of the most uncomfortable large European airports. Inside, passengers have to cover long distances on foot. In addition, it's easy to get lost and spend too much time searching for the right terminal. Terminals are scattered in staggered order, therefore it is better to learn the layout at the entrance.
№6: King Abdulaziz International Airport
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Those departing from the airport in Jeddah often complain about slow queues at passport control. This is attributed to the fact that border guards seem to be more preoccupied with their phones or carefree chats to one another than with passengers. Moreover, this airport is infamous for flight delays – sometimes by 20 hours or more.
№7: Heraklion International Airport
Crete, Greece
Getting lost in this small airport is rather difficult, however, during the holiday season you can find yourself standing in the long line right at the entrance to the building.
№8: Frankfurt Airport
Frankfurt am Main, Germany
It is advised to arrive at the largest airport in Germany and one of the largest in Europe earlier than usual. Unfortunately, sometimes detailed pointers and signs are not enough: many passengers are lost in a large space and spend more time than expected searching for the right terminal and gate.
№9: Thira National Airport
Santorini, Greece
Another Greek island, another small airport, and again the lines. In a crowd, it is easy to confuse check-in stands and end up waiting in the wrong line. For this reason, flights from Santorini often depart a few hours late.
№10: LaGuardia Airport
New York, USA
Be prepared that this airport is America's leader in flight delays. Moreover, permanent renovations inside the airport confuse passengers, who also have to stand in long lines with a lot of other travelers.
