Worst experience: Tenerife North (TFN). It is actually a fairly ok airport. Not amazing by any means and I would place it well below average though not rock bottom (it seemed to be a bit lacking in amenities by an airport of this size). However the reason I put it here is because my worst airport experience ever was in here; when a flight I had to take was delayed by a whopping 7 hours. I also didn't have much to do there because of the lack of amenities and my iPod Touch's battery only lasted for so long.
I've also had 2 very pointless layovers here. They were short and perfectly fine but I still remember when we had a layover here for no reason lol (we didn't even disembark the plane in one of them!)
Runner up: Paris Orly (ORY). Only because it is the only airport in my life to have lost my bags
Worst impresson: Berlin Schönefeld (SXF)
When I went to Berlin I will always remember how, after landing, when we went to the baggage section, which was extremely ugly. No ceiling whatsoever and a building in general that looked like it was last renovated back in the days of communism.
Given how people here are describing Tegel as the worse of the 2 Berlin airports I am genuinely curious how bad could it get (my experience at Schönefeld was perfectly fine; it was just an incredibly ugly airport to me for some reason)
Runner up: Valencia Airport (VLC)
I still remember when I arrived at this airport (or perhaps it was when coming back home) how it was pretty dark, it almost felt like the airport had no lights installed; or as if I had arrived while the airport was closed, there was also nobody there other than my family and those who were travelling with us. It was also a surprisingly small airport given it serves what is basically Spain's 3rd or 4th largest metro area, though I suppose many locals might just use Alicante airport instead (which definitely has much more traffic)
