One of the guys I grew up with lives in Singapore. He has lived there for 35 years. When we had our 40th HS Reunion, he entered the U.S. at LAX. He said it was like traveling to a 3rd World country’s airport.

La Guardia is by far the worst of them all, in America, imo.

FWIW, I've been in third world airports which were far better maintained than LAX. Bangkok has one of the best. I had to overnight there for a connecting flight once, got a nice hotel room in the airport with many modern amenities including a fridge with complimentary bottled water. You DO NOT drink the tap water there it is so polluted and so chlorinated to make it safe to even bathe in that your butt stings slightly when you do.

Anyway, I woke up the next morning to rooster crowing and looked out the landside of the hotel to typical shantytown just outside the airport.

Singapore airport had dozens of PC’s scattered throughout the airport, where free internet was available to passengers. Ultra-modern design. Hong Kong airport was also well organized and clean. I received my checked in bag very quickly. Taipei airport was also good.

But Manila airport was a zoo. Overcrowded and poorly laid out.
