It’s not the first time and it probably won’t be the last, but London Heathrow has hit the headlines today after being voted the worst airport in the world.
The global hub retained its dubious title in the annual Priority Pass survey, which quizzed 14,500 frequent travellers who each take an average of 17 flights a year.
While last year’s result was widely put down to the bungled launch of Terminal 5, the new poll shows that even one year on passengers still have plenty to gripe about.
“The travellers who took part in this survey took almost 250,000 flights between them,” noted Jonathan French of Priority Pass. “And that means they know a thing or two about airports.
“Sadly, Heathrow remains firmly entrenched as the airport the world loves to hate.”
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport followed close behind in second place.
