Actually EGLL, KLAX, KSFO, KFJK are overrated(TS) and all other airports are underrated rofl.
Always occupied (Which is actually also nice), but would be nice to see other airports also this busy.

Actually, Heathrow and LAX arenā€™t overrated, as the airports are less busy than IRL

Other airports need some more pilots, yes, but there still arenā€™t enough players to fill these two

Agree, but many other busy airports are dead, for example KATL. So in that case EGLL and KLAX are overrated, but with more players it will be hopefully more balanced.

A more appropriate here criteria would be the number of IF players at an airport, we arenā€™t exactly comparing airports to their real-life image :)

For your band of criteria, the case would make even a very active airport in the real world and in IF, ā€œunderratedā€ on IF. In my opinion, it isnā€™t justified to classify airports as overrated or underrated, as members of IF are drawn to other players and will spawn and fly in regions where they see major traffic.

This may seem monotonous on the training server cough Heathr- cough cough Los Ang- Ahem. But thanks to the great system of the ATC Schedule on the Expert Server, many of these ā€œunderrated airportsā€ get to see traffic quite regularly.

EGLL (TS1) is over-rated, nobody can change my mind. Itā€™s the one place on IF that I donā€™t want to go to.
OMDB is underrated.
