One of the most important but also tedious parts of traveling is the airports. They can be a delight, or they can be a living nightmare. I usually rate an airport on 2 very basic parameters. Amount of and cleanliness of toilets, and access to outlets. Food options, comfort, architecture etc. goes in second line.
There’s no rule that the bigger and more busy airports are the best, while the smaller ones are worse. It varies wildly.
