For frequent flyers, airports are little more than a way point between destinations: Somewhere to grab a coffee before boarding, browse shops at duty free or spend a little while longer waiting if on a layover.
While most travellers judge an airport by its efficiency, especially short security lines, beauty matters, too, with some terminals offering far more than convenience. From striking architecture to sweeping views and even lush indoor spaces, some airports have become attractions and landmarks in their own right.
