My contribution to the bad airports list: Sofia International. Anyone else been through that one? I think the terminal is right on the runway because it smells like jet fuel. It's a glorified hangar...wires hanging from the ceiling, people crowded on floors and huddled in blankets. It's like a scene from Children of Men in there. Okay, maybe not that bad, but certainly not good. And then you have the culture shock of flying out of a former Soviet Bloc country where the black market rules everything, including how much baggage you can take on the plane.
