Kuwait International Airport has received the unfortunate distinction of being ranked the lowest in Asia, with travelers expressing widespread dissatisfaction with their experience. According to airlinequality.com, a website that rates airports based on traveler reviews, Kuwait Airport received a terrible 1.69 out of 10.

This rating places it at the bottom of the list, with criticisms ranging from unpleasant odors and unprofessional staff to slow boarding procedures and inadequate facilities. This was reported by arabtimesonline.com.

As for the rest of the airports, many travelers highlighted problems with the immigration clearance process, citing long lines and inefficiency. In addition, complaints about the dim lighting at the airport, which creates a negative atmosphere, were common.

In contrast, Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam, was the best airport in Asia and globally, scoring a commendable 6.8. Travelers praised Noi Bai Airport for its rich and comfortable travel experience, demonstrating the stark contrast between the best-performing airports and those that lag behind in terms of quality and service.
