Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but if I'm approaching those places on final, I'd be much happier with landing than the alternative.

I have landed on some of these, with rushing motors and tubular, and short runways, but there are another few to add...

Sydney Airport beats them! It may be not that hard to land or take off, but the welcome by customs and the gouging by the airport owners at every turn is the stuff of nightmares!

Customs service is perhaps a little overzealous

Those lists just haven't been the same since they shut down Kai-Tak.

I imagine landing on this at night wouldn't be too fun...

Haha, I was going to post something along similar lines about Toronto's international airport...

...where I have to fly out of about 30 hours from now. I love airports, and even that specific airport, but everything having to do with the administration, fees and security there drives me to utter frustration

When you clear the airport they then sting you for a train trip to the city....
