So far my worst airport experience prize goes to Heathrow. So I guess we'll see if your ones can wrest it away . ;)
Heathrow's been in the news lately for three-hour waits to get through passport control (at arrivals), and there are fears those queues could become four hours long this summer during the Olympics. :(

Man. Horrible. When we went through Heathrow going into England, they lost our luggage, and tried to blame Johannesburg airport. I had to point out that I'd been flying through Joburg several times a year for almost a decade at that point, and they'd never lost my luggage before.
Also the (literally) PILES of lost luggage along the walls kind of put the lie to the idea that it was someone else's fault. It kind of pissed me off - like they thought they could palm it off onto the "silly third world Africans". Hmph.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
