Amsterdam - Back in March, that airport was a TOTAL joke. Construction all over the place and I could see sunlight through cracks in the ceiling (From construction)

San Juan and Bridgetown should not even be on the Central America list. I've been to airports where the terminal was a mobile trailer and I would rate them higher.[hr]
And how is PHL #10 for North American Regional Airports?!?!?!
