Without a doubt the airport from hell: SVO (Sheremetyevo in Moscow). This airport is so wrong on every level:

• Exit curbside
• Enter sheep-pen like holding area that funnels to a single entrance
• Push and shove (no lines, remember "festival seating" at concerts?) to single gate
• Through door to smaller area with luggage inspection tables scattered about
• Finally, to a DL counter agent
• Disney-like serpentine of fences to Customs
• Enter Customs, plexi doors shut in front of you and behind you
• Trapped as Customs agent scrutinizes your papers
• Door opens, I'm free! Run up the stairs
• Enter walkway on the rim of the circular terminal building
• Walk 3/4 (yes, 3/4!) of the way around the rim
• Finally, walk down jetway
• Kiss floor of A/C in gratitude

Of course, that's Russia. US of A...I dread MCO every time.

All the best, James
