^ This is a longer article with a lot more lists of different airport traffic sizes. The airports above in Bold are ones I have personally been to.  The one airport that really surprised me for being on this list - that I have been to many time - is London's Heathrow. I think it is the worst airport in the world. You have to walk a long, long way from deplaning to Immigration, their treatment of the disabled is disgusting (I've written about it numerous times before) and they don't tell you or let you go to your gate until a few minutes before you board so you have to fight the crowds and run to your flight. ^
