Forbes just listed the world's top 10 airports. Here they are in order.

1. Hong Kong...no surprise there. I thought HK airport was the best!

2. Singapore..I'll be seeing this one soon.

3. Seoul/Incheon...WHAT????????? What's so great about Incehon airport?

4. Kansai...yes, good

5. Kuala Lumpur

6. Munich

7. Copenhagen

8. Zurich

9. Helsinki

10. Cape Town

I wonder how much money Korea paid to Forbes to get the number 3 slot? Laughing

Forbes, you say? Got curious what the criteria were, but I don't see any such listing on the Forbes website...

Incheon is really decent as airports go, nice and spacious.

If you've ever been to Heathrow then you've got something to compare it to. What a dump, except terminal 1, that's passable. Arlanda in Sweden in very nice as well. Schipol Airport in Amsterdam is nice and new too.

Nice. Ouch! Sorry for the repetition of that word.

Incheon is a fantastically easy airport to get in and out of. It really works that way. Spacious and easy to navigate. But, it is soul-less. No character at all.

Incheon is the best that I can recall, at least as good as Singapore. Nice and spacious and only one big terminal so you don't have to get moved around by a train or bus which makes things soooooooooo much easier.

I like Schipol Airport which is in Amsterdam.

Singapore airport rocks. Everything from a free cinema to an outdoor cactus garden. Very comfy stop-over en-route to somewhere else.

Yeah, Incheon is pretty good. So easy to get around and lots of room to relax.

It didn't take much to google this gem.

Incheon is a great aiport. Princess isn't the brightest star in the sky.

Taipei was really bad, is it still?

I don't remember Kuala Lumpur being that great either (but that was 11 years ago...)

Incheon really isn't bad.

Restaurants are too expensive though. The service staff are either over attentive (won't leave you alone), or totally absent when you need something.

For an international airport, it still feels like you're in a village in Chungchongchingbukdo. Its full of only Koreans who stare at you. This is an INTERNATIONAL airport for pity's sakes!!

otherwise no complaints.
