Agreed, this video largely fails its good intentions. A particularly illustrative example is at 5:53. We are shown an aerial view of King Fahd International airport with its former perimeter marked and, instead of the obvious approach of superimposing its present perimeter for comparison, the image dissolves and is replaced by the current perimeter at different magnification. The two images isolated from each other, without reference points, and at different magnification are impossible to compare which even is the larger let alone by how much.

I grew up near Denver and always thought DIA was a fairly normal aiport. I now realize that it is one of the biggest airports in the world. its absolutely crazy how big it is. over half the flights are in terminals completely separate from the main building. you have to take a train to get there. while not unique to Denver, it still blows my mind. the fact that security is in a massive tent just because we can is rediculous. even outside of the official grounds of the airport there are parking services. private hangars, and tons of other things. its pretty crazy what humans have built just so that we can get from 1 place to another in a few hours. Not to mention the truly gargantuan network of tunnels that network the entire thing together.

Denver is hugely inefficient as a result. Too much distance from aircraft to baggage claim. Too long of a bus ride from baggage claim to car rental. And way too long of a line for security. Denver is only 30 years old and it's horribly designed, because it's a pain-in-the-ass to use as a passenger.

Great video, but you forgot to talk about Dallas-Ft.Worth. For those who don't know, DFW encompasses 69.6 square kilometers, being just a tad smaller than Istanbul, and nearly double the size of Dubai in terms of land area. DFW has a grand total of seven runways, and is also the 3rd busiest airport in the world in terms of total aircraft movements, and 4th in the world for passenger traffic. The airport is literally so big that it sprawls across six towns, and utilizes a 8km long rail system for moving passengers between gates. Needless to say, everything's bigger in Texas.

DFW also charges you just to enter the property. That’s right, you have to pay a toll to drive through (yeah it’s so big you drive “through” it, not “to” it), even if you are just dropping someone off at the terminal and never parking. Love Field is more pleasant, but it’s mostly Southwest Airlines flights and the terminal can get rather crowded with people these days. The need more gates but are largely prohibited from expanding (originally this prohibition was to give DFW a handicap and allow it to grow as an airport. Love Field predates DFW but the metroplex needed another airport).

The best airport I have seen is Doha. I was running through it to catch my connecting flight thinking, "Wow! How nice it would be if I actually had time to walk around and explore". It's always a bummer getting home to the UK because we have some pretty grey and grim airports. It's like the UK decided to compete with the US to see who could have the most depressing airports. I guess that's the price you pay for living in a country that developed it's aviation industry ahead of everyone else. The UK still has a long way to go in developing airports as horrible as JFK and Newark however so things are not all bad :)

Biggest airports I’ve ever been to are probably London Heathrow and Gatwick, Amsterdam Schiphol, New York JFK, Munich and Palma de Mallorca airports. London Heathrow is huge with the amount of terminals there are. Amsterdam Schiphol was a bit of a confusing one for me at first. It was like one massive huge terminal but the departure lounge went on for ages, and could walk from one end to the other if you really wanted. New York JFK was also pretty big, as was Munich. Palma’s airport is big for a relatively small catchment area, being the island of Mallorca itself, as well as being the 3rd busiest airport in Spain, but it’s most likely so big to accommodate tourists who visit the island. It is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Europe and is probably one of the busiest airports in Europe during the summer months (May through to the end of September).
