World’s most beautiful airports: some in US
Here’s a distinction from a beleaguered industry: Of the world’s 13 most beautiful airports, Denver International and New York JFK’s TWA Terminal (used as a portal to the JetBlue terminal), made the list.
Denver’s Teflon-coated tensile-fabric roof "looks like a village of giant white tepees. The airport is at its most beautiful when you approach by air from the east and see the glowing man-made peaks silhouetted against the Rockies," says Travel & Leisure in its January issue.
The Eero Saarinen-designed landmark TWA Terminal evokes a period when "air travel was a glamorous, exciting experience for a relatively small number of people," the magazine says.
Among foreign airports, Seoul-Incheon, Madrid Barajas’ Terminal 4, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong International, Berlin Tempelhof, Osaka, Japan’s Kansai International and Beijing International’s Terminal 3 are praised for their superior design.
Other lesser-known airports include: Bilbao’s Sondika Airport in Spain; Malvinas Argentinas Airport in Ushuaia, Argentina; Morocco’s Marrakech Menara Airport; and Montevideo Carrasco International in Uruguay.
