Airports are not often associated with having fun — they’re
simply a place for you to wait in order to make a flight. But some airports have
separated themselves from the pack, and not in a good way. The worst airports in
the world are known for their smelly bathrooms, long lines, and rude
staff.
Take a look at the 10 worst airports in the world, and if possible, try to avoid them.

1. Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International
This airport is known for its long immigration lines, unannounced gate changes, and expensive food and drinks, according to CNN Travel. That’s all made worse by the fact that this outdated facility is understaffed, and only 59 percent of the Brazilian airport’s flights arrive on schedule, Forbes reports.

2. Chicago Midway International
Chicago’s Midway International Airport is ranked as the nation’s worst for on-time departures. “It isn’t a bad place to hang out, with a new food court and a frequent subway connection to downtown Chicago, but any airport is the worst airport if you’re stuck there and you aren’t getting on a plane,” Frommer’s writes.

3. John F. Kennedy International
New York City’s airport has made Travel + Leisure’s list of ugliest airports. “Today JFK is resolutely hellish; arriving passengers are often greeted with endless blank corridors and stairways,” Travel + Leisure says. What to look for at this airport? Keep an eye out for the newer JetBlue terminal, as well as Terminal 1, which may be old but isn’t as bad as some of the others.

4. N’Djamena International
Users of this airport in the tiny Republic of Chad in Africa have said that there are multiple bugs all over, according to USA Today. Travelers have also complained about the airport’s open-bag security check held outside, which only helps to draw in more bugs around the infested airport. If you can’t avoid it, bring bug spray.
