Birmingham Airport
The fifth-largest English airport has a problem similar to that of Berlin-Schönefeld: Despite subsequent additions and expansions, it is far too small for the high number of passengers it has to deal with every day. This regularly leads to confusing crowds and long waiting times at the security checkpoint, which can quickly make even the passenger who arrives on time nervous.

Banda Neira, Indonesia
No, a loop is not quite what the pilot does on the approach to Banda Neira, and of course the journey to the coveted Spice Islands 500 years ago, when nobody knew exactly where they were, was even more adventurous. But anyone who today heads for the distant archipelago step by step from Indonesia’s capital Jakarta step by step with ever smaller planes and approaches that tiny Moluccan island at the end of the day, has to buckle up tightly.
