The worlds best 10 airports, and shock horror that Perth Int Airport did not make the list.
The World Airport Awards have announced the world’s best 10 airports based on the results from 8.6 million questionnaires completed by airline passengers.

Well made my way to the airport ok and on arrival found that the long term parking now has been moved to an area adjacent to the normal entry and poorly sign posted to say the least. At 10.30 pm there was little traffic so i was able to pull up, reverse and make my way in to long term parking. To my surprise there was only 4 empty bays and the one I decided on had a distant view of the terminal. My first thoughts are thank god its not day time and 40′c or raining.
Luckily I consider my self able and fit so the 10 min stroll with the bags is not a big deal, but for one second imagine you are with small children, or you are elderly. There were no luggage trolleys anywhere, no undercover path if the elements required it or a shuttle service for those in need. I’m not impressed at all but Perth Airport is an ongoing embarrassment anyway in so many areas. What person decided this was a good idea probably does not have to use the facility.
