I'm not sure if it really qualifies as an airport but we flew into an airstrip (calling it that is being kind) in the San Blas Archipelago in Panama. Once we arrived, we had to pay a fee to the Kuna people in a small cinder block buidling (room) that had no electricity to be allowed to visit.

At least they HAVE a baggage claim area. I fly into a few places where the "baggage claim area" is in the public parking lot just outside the sterile area where the tow tractor/tug dropps off the baggage carts and it's up to everyone to find their bag, remove it from the cart, etc. on their own!

I used the New Haven (HVN) Airport for my first time last Sunday, that's definitely up there on my list. Four or five flights to PHL on Dash-8s a day. A few other airlines tried to make it work but none were able to. It's a cute one, here are some pictures:
