(joking I love Schiphol but it feels so good to beat the Dutch in a ranking for once)
Weird, I rather dislike it. Especially outside of business hours there is nothing open and there are no trains between 11pm and 6am so you can’t even go anywhere.
I have to give Zaventem credit for having one of the best security checkpoints I’ve encountered so far. Lots of belts and each belt has several stations so multiple passengers can fill bins allowing for a large throughput.
You could say Brussels airport is “da bomb”.
Too soon?
Zürich sucked when I used it.
In short: it is actually a smoker-friendliness index made by a big tobacco lobbying group.
The survey is far from a reputable source that can impartially measure “customer friendliness”. The organisation that conducted this “research” is Consumer Choice Centre, a US lobbying group that is also locates in Brussels and Geneva that advocates for looser regulation for consumer products who is often associated with “big tobacco” corporations.
So the interpretation of the survey should be that customer safety standards in Zaventem is somehow deregulated like our spatial planning, while also factoring in smoker-friendliness and other agenda’s they happen to push.
For context: Zurich (2nd in the list) is the first airport in Europe to open special smoking lounges, with whopping 22 of those cancer chambers.
