This Airport Was Just Voted the World’s Best—And It’s Not Singapore Changi
20.04.2024 - 03:47 / afar.com
Not all airports are created equal. Some are soulless, clinical spaces with little more than bright blueish lighting and endless corridors. They are nothing but a functional building from which to launch your next adventure, be it a weekend away with friends or a big solo trip in a new, far-flung destination.
Others, however, can make your vacation experience special from the outset. The good airports are the ones we look forward to, despite all the lines and bureaucracy. They’re the ones with appealing restaurants and lounges—a champagne bar, perhaps, or a micro-brewery with a taproom—and inviting spaces that offer more than simply a place to sit and charge your devices. The world’s best airports go above and beyond. They feature indoor gardens, rooftop terraces with runway views, or even entire adventure playgrounds to keep the kids happy while you’re waiting for your flight to depart.
These kinds of added luxuries and services have put 20 airports on the Skytrax World’s Best Airports list this year, with Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, taking the top spot for 2024.
Aviation ranking organization Skytrax launched its first airport customer satisfaction survey in 1999, and since then travelers from around the world (more than 100 countries were represented in this year’s survey) have been voting for their favorite airports, taking into account everything from public transport options and waiting times to cleanliness, choice of food and shops, and accessibility enhancements. In 2024, Doha took back its title back from Singapore’s Changi, which received the first-place award last year, after Doha was named Airport of the Year in 2021 and 2022.
Here’s the full ranking from Skytrax.
To accommodate the surge of people who traveled to Doha for the FIFA World Cup in November and December 2022, the Hamad International Airport expanded to increase its capacity to over 58 million passengers per year, while also adding a second airport hotel and an indoor tropical garden called the Orchard.
If you’re traveling through Hamad—which connects Washington, D.C., New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Houston with South Africa, Tanzania, and India, among other destinations—expect to see high-end designer stores like Burberry, Gucci, and Jimmy Choo with duty-free price tags within its terminal. (It’s no surprise it also won first place for world’s best airport for shopping.) The varied dining options include divine cakes from L’eto Caffe in Concourse C and sandwiches in Harrods Tea Room in the south duty-free zone. Best of all, the airport even has a pay-to-use fitness center and spa, as well as pay-by-the-hour sleep pods for long layovers.

The Best New Restaurants in the World: 2024 Hot List
It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List, our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships, a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List's restaurant winners for 2024.

This Major U.S. Airport Was Just Named the Busiest in the World
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) has once again been crowned the busiest airport in the world, serving a whopping 104.6 million travelers in 2023. The Airports Council International (ACI), the trade association of the world’s airports, published its annual rankings on Monday.
