For travelers weary of long lines at security checkpoints and
overpriced fast food, the idea that any airport could be viewed as
“best” may seem laughable. However, for travelers lucky enough to have
flights that originate or end at any of the airports listed below, the
word “best” is totally appropriate. These outstanding airports received
the most votes from more than twelve
million travelers who participated
in a survey administered by Skytrax. Awards for the 2013 World’s Best
Airport and nine runners-up were announced at passenger terminal EXPO in
Geneva, Switzerland. The winning airports were located largely in
Europe and Asia, with only one representative from North America and
none from Australia, South America or Africa. The United States was
also notably absent from the list of winners.
1. Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore
Singapore Changi Airport claimed top prize for the
fourth time since the Skytrax awards were
initiated, having last won the
title in 2010. In addition to winning the top overall award, Singapore
Changi Airport, which served more than fifty million passengers in 2012,
was named Best Airport in Asia and Best Airport for Leisure Amenities.
