Ever Been to Trivandrum Airport, Buddy?

A top contender for World's Worst Airport has to be Thiruvanantapuram (old name: Trivandrum) Airport in Kerala State, India. It is also a busy airport - like Dakar's - since it handles a lot of flights to the Arabian Gulf. It is a combination of lousy facilities, chaotic arrangements and horrible employees. Anyone who has seen their luggage being 'handled' by the luggage handlers in Trivandrum Airport will never ever want to go there again. Trivandrum is the capital city of Kerala State - one of the most socially advanced states in India - and it is a wonder that the airport is as rotten as it is.
