The needed context seems to be that the person you are replying to is German. I don't love Schiphol either, but it beats any German airport (looking at Frankfurt in particular).

What’s a nice large European airport? I feel like I’ve heard terrible things of all of them, like LHR and CDG.

  Copenhagen is quite nice.

    I would argue that's the only nice airport in Scandinavia even! Would say the worst layout on an airport i've ever seen is Stockholm Arlanda.

      Copenhagen airport is my favourite too - note however that Arlanda T5 is being expanded at the moment and it seems like it will be a lot nicer when they're finished. The security stuff is already much better: no need to unpack laptops etc. from hand luggage when going through the new section. T2 is still quite sucky though!

      OSL is fine too. And it's not like there's a huge number of large hubs in Scandinavia…

    Except for the incredibly low ceilings in some places.

  I like Heathrow when travelling to or from London. It's huge, but there's public transport to each terminal, a reasonable selection of restaurants and generally somewhere to sit. It's fairly quiet. Changing between terminals at Heathrow is much less fun. CDG I find confusing.

    >Changing between terminals at Heathrow is much less fun. I decided to stay at a Heathrow airport hotel a while back. Turned out I had to change terminals and I'm pretty sure it took me at least as long as getting a shuttle bus to one of the hotels would have taken. You often have to walk quite a ways too. Overall though Heathrow is pretty good among the large European airports.

    I actually kinda enjoy the distance between terminals. After a long international flight, I deliberately take the tunnel, and skip the moving walkways. As long as I'm not rushing to make a connection, the walk is really nice.

Frankfurt is atrocious, but Munich is great.
