    No Gabe no, no, no! You missed it! I have been in many of the greatest airports in the world, including Singapore and previously I would have rated that one the best, but this is by far better than Singapore. If you are able, you need to get there early enough so that you see the other half of the airport, the part before you go to Departure, it is full of breathtakingly amazing gardens, sculptures, beautiful shops, a futuristic tram. The amenities are amazing, for instance you can go to the spa, the most amazing shower I have ever had, massages, etc. Everything is above first class! It is incredible!

      Interesting. That seems strange that the nicest area is before you go through security, so most people miss it and if you do see it, you aren't going to want to stay there long. Next time I'll be sure to look for that area.

    We were lucky to get a great deal on Qatar Airways First Class in Fall 2022 when travel was just coming back after the pandemic. Their First Class lounge in Doha (our connection) is amazing so we were there most of the layover. I agree with you that there are too many high end stores though. I kept looking for a convenience store and never found one. Other than the lounge, I didn’t see anything special about this airport.

    Hi Gabriel. In 2007 or so i made my first youtube vodeo about me hitching.. I had some views but didn't think it was worth producing content about travel. "who would be interested in my travels" i thought.. Then a few years later I saw your channel... You had about 100k subs and i started hating myself for not having done more videos from the early days of youtube 😢
    Last year.. Through me living in a nomad hub i saw so many people mention you.. You visited the infamous town at that time.. .... I was surprised how many people know you too!. Today, i told this stroy to my nephew....and out of curiosity i checked your channel.. Wtf.. 600k! Congratulations tanja

    Hi there! I actually like the airport tour, even without the Orchard! I really dislike airport, because I miss being in the open air and it's always so cold in summer. But I find it fascinating that is a passing place for so many people and nobody really care too much about it. have been to Telluride in the late 90s and I loved it. I remember the airplane we took it was a bit scary and very small. In Telluride I went riding a very quiet horse with the cowboy Roudy in the snowy woods and it was pretty awesome. He is still in the business of touring people on horses. And I went to see the mining sites with all the mementos about that difficult life in the past. As you do I arrive always early at the airport, at least 3 hrs, just because you are never sure about the traffic and I prefer to wait there, than to miss the flight. I can't wait to see a bit of India as I have never been there.Thanks for sharing!

    IMO, Hamad International Airport deserves that “best airport” title for 2024. The place has a modern design, with standout art pieces like the giant teddy bear sculpture, and the layout makes getting around pretty easy even when it’s packed. Changi’s got cool features too, but HIA has a smooth flow and a unique vibe.

      Turmeric is a cheap and effective anti inflammatory root. Get it in powder form, mix one level tablespoon with warm milk or mix it with rice or potato. Be careful, it stains!
      Eat nutritious food and take a multivitamin capsule daily.
      Are your shoes as supportive as you need?
      Keep to gentle walks for a few days until soreness has gone

Sacramento may not be the best airport in the world, but for its size there is architectural inspiration, high ceilings, lots of natural light.

Years ago OAK received very high rankings in the USA because of ease of use and on time departures. These rankings were not about tropical gardens and choreographed fountains.
