Airport articles
Wikivoyage has articles for several dozen of the world's largest and most-complicated international airports. They are designed to help you navigate safely and comfortably around them, and provide essential knowledge such as information on eating and sleeping options in the airport, and onward travel advice. This article lists our current airport articles by continent and city.

Amsterdam
- 24 Schiphol Airport. Hub for flag carrier KLM, one of the oldest airlines in the world and one of the top contenders for "most countries served from one airport". Curiously lies below sea level, which is interesting because its name means "ship grave".
Barcelona
- 25 El Prat Airport. Spain's amusingly-named second hub has some architectural features of the modernisme movement that helped make Barcelona's name. The route MAD-BCN was among the ten busiest in the world until competition with high speed rail made flights increasingly unattractive.

Frankfurt
- 27 Frankfurt Airport. Germany's biggest airport and the hub of flag carrier Lufthansa

Istanbul
- 29 New Airport. Opened gradually from autumn 2018, it replaces Atatürk Airport which has now closed.

Dallas and Fort Worth
Denver
- 51 Denver Airport. Moved to its current site "overnight" in 1995 after old Stapleton Airport had grown too small and too close to downtown for modern needs. Famously contains a bunch of "weird" artwork that has given rise to absurd conspiracy theories.
Detroit

Miami
Minneapolis and Saint Paul
