Ok, first forget the fact that you would most likely have to fork over a couple thousands of dollars in order to enjoy all of these reasons to visit airports, but hey, at least you get to enjoy a trip as well.
One of my favorite things about traveling is seeing all these impressive and unique airports. Yet there are more reasons to visit airports than simply their architecture. Since traveling between countries has become even more prevalent, airports have taken it upon themselves to create an adventure from start to finish.
