Airport Wish List
What would be the features of the "perfect" international airport? What would be cost-efficient, yet user-friendly and beautiful?

I would think good signage would be one, along with an airport with lots of light.

How about you?

A shop (like in AMS) that sells a good wide range of aviation stuff.

Concoures as wide as UA's at DIA. So when a 747 empties its 350-400 pax,the place doesn't feel like 4pm rush hour at Chicago Union Station.

Security guards where you can choose which one pats you down...and the choices cover most tastes.

Decent, reasonably-priced food both before and after security.

I would love to see an airport with an outdoor balcony (as seen in old movies), maybe a cafe, where one can just sit and watch planes take off and land. I would come 2 hrs before departure time just to spend some time there....

Upperscale restuarants to sit and have nice meal during a long layover.

A pricing policy (for everything) similar to the one @YVR (prices cannot exceed that of downtown Vancouver).

Most of the things I'm lucky enough to have in my hometown airport of PIT:

Moving walkways
Wide aisles
Dual levels for arrival/departures
AirMall(r) with regular prices
Easy club access
Clean and spacious
Special Services counters spread throughout

I don't like trains that connect terminals; they are always a bottleneck. Atlanta is OK since you can also walk/run on moving walkways where the trains go.
