🛬 🛫 Airports | Taoyuan Airport (TPE) World Ranking etc

[hannes]

That’s not something to brag about, if you see yourself close to the top.

@tango42

Finally something more realistic. They’re usually rated like number one or at least in top five

No it’s not. What are you on about? In 2019 it was ranked 13th.

This ranking is such a farce. The fact that Paris CDG the piece of shit is ranked 6th is enough to write the whole thing off.

[hannes]

How much of a difference does a good result in these kind of polls make for an airport? Are travelers choosing or avoiding airports after seeing a survey like this?

I couldn’t care less, not spending much time in airports. I am happy when I get to experience one.

TPE is a decent enuf airport, although the food & drink options are abysmal, particularly once you’re thru security check.

Who wrote that post title? Taoyuan didn’t make dick. We’ve plummeted 60 places on account of our airport is a shit hole.

I think when transfer in a airport it can important or in city with more than one choice. I like Helsinki since its not too big, clean and nice lounges and good transfer point to the Baltics (VNO, RIX and TLL). Though more flights I found Frankfurt too big. In Paris, also like smaller Orly Airport when visiting our Taiwanese nomad worker (She loves Paris ha even with cost ha!)

It just states a fact, emotionlessly

Airports are just a place to leave or arrive at a country. You don’t stay there very long. It’s not like they are tourist attractions.

All of this will be moot in 2 years anyways. Terminal 3 ftw.

I assume he’s talking about the usual bullshit lists often covered in the local media and posted here, along the lines of “Fulong ranked #1 beach in the world!” and “Yilan 3rd best tourist destination in Asia!”.

As you say:

@Gain

This ranking is such a farce.

…because they always are.

Like which ones?

I think it will be more than 2 years. Maybe 3-4.

Ireland, New Zealand, and TAIWAN from the the linko: Taiwan is by far one of the easiest countries to travel to. It is because the people are so charming. If you look lost, they will stop by to see if they can help you. Someone can spark a conversation with you if you are walking or riding on their various transport modes. The food is fantastic,…

10 Reasons To Add Taiwan To Your Bucket List So I thought, don’t include the food. First thing on the list Also, night life, such as night markets with food Also, night markets, with food, at night And the cost (cheap food) That’s 4/10 right there. I’d put nature higher up the list. Shopping here is pretty mediocre

Number one city in the world for healthcare is in Taiwan

A lot of those are the annual update of the same lists. Most are pretty dumb yes, but so is this one.

Great Food at Taoyuan Airport

Hahahahahahaha

[bdog]

There is the distinct smell of faeces as you get off the plane, presumably from the huge bins in the toilets. They don’t flush in Bangkok either, but they don’t seem to have this problem. Maybe they actually installed ventilation at BKK airport?

@Gain

Paris CDG

Did they update it for the Olympics, or is it still a shithole?

Hahahahahahaha

It’s certainly cheap compared to most airports.

I’d love it if they had somewhere that served cocktails.

[bdog]

They feed you to death on every flight, who on earth wants to eat before getting onboard an aeroplane? Icon’s video links are one stop short of “Glorious news about our fellow patriots’ amazing acts in Taiwan.”
