Both are notorious airports for aborted landings.

And of course, the classic Pilot Induced Oscillation video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rMageU9lng

I think most of them would make me vomit - the last one is a fake, surely?!?

Had one aborted landing at NCL due to snow in maybe 50 flights. Captain told us to look out of the windows, which we did, to see a total whiteout. Circled the north sea for 20mins and landed without problems.

Had a few drawn-out bumpy landings that I would rather have had aborted though
