Trivia question - can you name the top 10 airports in the world?

[Initech]

And dont resort to using Google, hint hint! ;)

I'll post if you get one of them.

Oh and this is based on passenger traffic in 2005 just to clear up any confusion.

[FuzzySlippers]

1. O'Hare.

[Initech]

5. Yup, it's on the list!

#3 to be exact.

[DemoTex]

2. By what measure?

Eh?

[Initech]

3. Traffic in 2005

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Hartsfield

[Initech]

10. Yup, it's #1

[Raster]

6. Number One: Hartsfield, Atlanta. Two: O'Hare, Chicago

Three: Narita, Japan.

[Initech]

11. Narita didnt even make the top 15

But there is *A* Tokyo airport in the top 5.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. ohare

jfk
heathrow

[Initech]

12. Heathrow's #4.

[Raster]

9. Heathrow, London. DFW, Dallas, Ft. Worth

[Initech]

14. Dallas was #6.

[DS1]

13. Hong Kong

Paris
Miami

Singapore

:shrug:

[Initech]

16. Charles DeGaulle was #7, Singapore didnt make the top 10

[DemoTex]

19. Singapore's Chaingi sucks!

I hate that red-print addendum to the entry visa that says: TRAFFICKERS IN DRUGS GET THE DEATH PENALTY. Then there is the potential haircut at the terminal if your male locks offend those up-tight motherfuckers.

[Initech]

26. I dont think I'll be visiting Singapore any time soon!

:yoiks:

[DemoTex]

15. OK, then sort by shopping and/or dining in terminal.

Heathrow!

[huskerlaw]

17. LAX

#5?

[Initech]

18. Yup, LAX is #5

So far we have:

1 - ATL (Atlanta - Hartsfield)
2 - ORD (Chicago - O'Hare)
3 - LHR (London - Heathrow)
4 - ?
5 - LAX (Los Angeles International)
6 - DFW (Dallas / Fort Worth)
7 - CDG (Paris / Charles DeGaulle)
8 - ?
9 - ?
10 - ?

[democracyindanger]

20. Amsterdam

Schi-something.

[Initech]

21. Schipol is #8

So now it's:

1 - ATL (Atlanta / Hartsfield)
2 - ORD (Chicago / O'Hare International)
3 - LHR (London / Heathrow)
4 - ?
5 - LAX (Los Angeles / Los Angeles International)
6 - DFW (Dallas / Fort Worth)
7 - CDG (Paris / Charles De Gaulle)
8 - AMS (Amsterdam / Schipol)
9 - ?
10 - ?

[Scout1071]

30. Bangkok? Sydney?

Buenos Aires?

[Initech]

44. Bangkok - #14, Sydney - #32, Buenos Aires - ?

[Scout1071]

47. I was really just tossing a random South American country into the

mix.

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. In terms of elevation above sea level? Height of the terminal?

Number of people moved? Number of planes in and out in a year? Average daily plane traffic? Most airlines serviced? Most popular in the public's eyes? Top in terms of customer satisfaction, decor, and amenities?

"Top" is pretty insanely nebulous.

Please be more clear.

[Initech]

24. I'm going by passenger traffic in 2005.

[crispini]

23. LaGuardia is one, I bet.

Lots of international flights out of there.

[Initech]

25. Surprisingly, neither it nor JFK made the top 10.

[Raster]

27. Bonus question: In terms of size, what is the LARGEST airport

in the world?

[Initech]

28. I'm going to say Osaka - Kansai.

[crispini]

29. That's easy, DFW

It's, what, like 25 square miles or something?

[Scout1071]

31. And it seems like I walk every mo-fo'in inch of it every time I'm there.

One of my least favorite.

[Fleshdancer]

32. Atlanta

Tokyo...can't remember the name...Narita or something?

Heathrow or Gatwick?

Resort...somewhere in Hawaii? I don't know.

[Ramsey]

[momophile]

41. seriously? I had no idea. see, we aren't just shit kickers!!

[Initech]

50. DIA is a good airport!

I've been there a couple of times - like the layout a lot. I also like the city, too!

[Spider Jerusalem]

[Initech]
