Last time I flew out of Edinburgh I realised right at the security check that I had my Swiss officer knife in my pocket. Thought
"Alright, that's it then, I'll finally lose it.". Made a sad face, handed it to the security guy, he had a five second look at it, extended some tools, then put it in the tray and said it's perfectly fine
Originally posted by savoche One of the worst airports I have been to in that regard is Frankfurt. Yep, the one in Germany. I can't believe how it's possible for that most orderly of all peoples to make a big airport with next to nothing to show you where to go. Even the people at the info kiosks struggle to find out where you should go. Even CdG, Paris is better.
Mh, weird. I've always found Frankfurt rather straightforward. Try Berlin Tegel - it's famous for its design. Due to the main terminal's hexagonal shape, the walking distances between the terminal entrance/exit and the plane are sometimes as short as 30 m (including check-in, security etc. in between)!
But my favourite one is probably Lungi, Freetown. You're greeted by burnt out plane wrecks on the airfield, and try to get out of the terminal very quickly for fear of it collapsing onto you
