By "most European capitals", I presume you're excluding Paris :-)
- skohan 7y agoI haven’t flown into Paris recently but there are plenty of exceptions: Berlin’s not beautiful either (though it’s one of my favorite airports). But still the standard in Europe seems higher in general than North America.
- ben_w 7y agoI like Berlin Tegel, but Berlin Schönefeld always seemed to me to be its low-budget brother.
- skohan 7y agoYeah I was speaking about Tegel. If you fly out of the main rotunda, it's great because every gate has its own security and bag drop so there's no long waits, even if it's busy. Schonefeld is like any other budget airport.
- ben_w 7y agoSomehow I manage even month-long trips with just carry-on. With the sole exception of the time I cycled from Hoek van Holland to Zürich and needed to get back to the UK in a hurry, I think I’ve not had a check-in bag drop since I was a kid.
- chungleong 7y agoBudget airlines in Europe often fly to airports in the middle of nowhere. So yeah, they might be more recently built.
