- pax drop-off and pick-up is a shambles.

- the railroad station lacks capacity, trains can't be relied on to run on schedule, or at all.

- the terminals are jam-packed, there are not enough gates, not enough remote stands, not enough immigrations officers and at times not even enough runways, despite having six.

Etc. Etc.

It's a mess. The Privium lounge is the sole redeeming feature.
