SFOTerminal 1 is my favorite terminal.
Hong Kong InternationalThe Skybridge is awesome.
Singapore ChangiI love flying into Singapore and seeing all the cargo ships.
Tokyo HanedaSuch an efficient and well-run airport. I love it.
Kempegowda International, BangaloreOne of the most thoughtfully and beautifully designed airports in the world.

Qantas International First Class Lounge, SydneySimply put, the best smoothies and açaí bowls I have ever had at any airport. Oh, and you can get a spa treatment. My favorite lounge ever so far.
Cathay Pacific The Pier, First Class, Hong KongI love the teahouse in this lounge, with all sorts of seasonal and artisanal teas available, I hope Cathay keeps this forever. I don’t believe any other lounge in the world comes close to the sheer amount of amenities on offer at the Pier.
Qantas Lounge, Hong KongNot a flagship lounge and not at one of their main home airports, but something about it really makes you feel at peace. The design is awesome, the Asian- and Australian-inspired food is delicious, and they make the most creative smoothies and mocktails I have seen at an airport.
Turkish Airlines International Business Class Lounge, IstanbulAbsolutely unreal fresh baba ghanoush, enjoyed with Turkish coffee and Turkish delight. There are endless seating options, countless juices to choose from, and so many dishes being prepared right in front of you by chefs around the clock.
Alaska Airlines Lounge, SFOA relatively new lounge at SFO T1 you can access flying out of T1 or the International Terminal (A gates). I love the barista bar and the amazing views of the tarmac.
