A vacation or business trip usually starts and ends at an airport. Many people are used to boring airports where they actually want to leave as quickly as possible. Staying at the airport is a necessary break from the rest of their trip for many people. What if we tell you that this doesn’t have to be the case at all. There are plenty of airports that you will not tire of. We take you to the 5 most unique airports in the world.
1. Peking
When the Olympic Games were organized in Beijing in 2008, a whole new terminal was built at this airport. At 3.2 kilometers, the terminal is extremely long and has a great modern look. Different colors of light have been incorporated into the ceiling, which even radiate to the terminal floor. The Chinese colors red and yellow are of course frequently used in this unique terminal.
2. Seoul Incheon
