Is there anywhere on the planet where the whole experience of arriving

Arlanda.
Gardermoen.
Copenhagen's pretty good, too.
Tromso, of course.

Hmm. A pattern starts to emerge..


A sort of airport DNA ?




Probably more "the Scandinavians are good at airports". Good design and
willingness to spend money on good-quality materials helps, as does an
ethos that public service is a good thing (and more important than
making a fast buck).


Which is why I was surprised to find that Copenhagen YHA is rather badly
designed.
