Having travelled all over the world I confidently say American international airports are the worst in the world. One exception was Portland where they have so few international arrivals I was off my plane and out of customs / immigration in 5 minutes. The best was Tegel Berlin. They send the officers to the gate rather than making everyone force marched through miles of terminals and lines while lazy fatsos have airport staff shuttle them around on wheel chairs to skip the lines.

They're an embarrassment, especially Dulles, airport for the nation's capital. Decrepit compared with the ultra-modern airports in Asia. Dirty and a pain to navigate compared with Europe. You have to go to absolute $%&*hole countries to find worse.

You mean specifically the immigration/passport controls?

Yes, Newark, Dulles, JFK etc hall state it would take an hour or more.

Charles de gaulle is also bad, heathriw slightly better. Singapore is incredible.

And then the fact that if you are travelling further within the USA, the airline doesn’t transfer your luggage

So did countries relax standards on Singapore, South Korea, Japan, etc., or did they increase them on the USA?
