What's everyone least favorite airport to fly in or out of?

This may be a loaded question. But we all have a list of airports or cities that we just hate flying in and out of for whatever reason. One of mine is Edmonton. Cant stand the city nore its hockey team. The airport os well meh.

Whichever one the main hub for that day is. Long delays, bad pilots, overstressed controllers. I’ll pass.

I HATE flying out of YSSY because the procedures are very annoying, and sometimes im just not in the mood to get charts up

EGLL - extremely boring because I control the airport too much on the trolling server

VIDP - some of my most favorite real life international flights land/depart here but it’s still 2D, which is the reason I hate it lol

Any airport with ATC

I hear you there. Most are good but i usually get stuck with ones that are useless. EHAM on training this morning was like that. Messaged the controller on duty and radio silence.

Not whining or anything just a observation

Did you know that TS stands for Trolling Server and not Training Server? Players can troll how much they want there, no repercussions. It’s basically Casual with ATC. People will tell you to report trolls to staff or mods if you have a problem with it, but the staff couldn’t care less.

Yep, i like the misc messages on the center freq. “You’re welcome, canforce 206TF heavy” i think i will use that whenever atc on ts or es are being not so bright.

I hear you there. I wish my home base was 3d. But i am afraid that they will get the college campus all wrong.

3/4ths of the year, my closest airport is jfk. Now, I love it, and all of its procedures. Clearly many people don’t know anything about it, and it’s such an irritation flying out of here lol. Also taxiing to the de icing stands takes 10 minutes on average. Infinite flight wise I’m unlucky this is my home airport.

Irl, I’m very happy. I love hearing enormous commercial airplanes pass over my head at only a few hundred feet in the air every 45 seconds. We get a lot of opportunities many avgeeks don’t… both procedure wise, location, scenery, airlines, and aircraft.

Dude that’s so real

Lol thanks for catching that.

YES!!

I got a few stories to tell 🥴

  • When approaching runway 27R, someone on the ground was holding short of the runway while I was around 1,100ft AGL thinking it’d be a smooth landing. Nope, he later made his way onto the runway while I was 600ft so I went around.

  • More recently, another guy just did the same thing while I was probably closer to the ground than my previous encounter

This is why I avoid LHR or just big hubs in general that tend to be busy all the time
