Good News! Manila airport is no longer the worst in the world

Good news for air travelers passing through Manila: the city's international airport isn't quite as bad as it used to be.

That's the only slightly uplifting word from The Guide to Sleeping in Airports, a travel website that produces an annual survey to identify the world's worst and best aviation terminals.

After being crowned worst three years in a row, Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has this year lost its place at the bottom of the heap to Pakistan's Islamabad Benazir Bhutto International.

It's now climbed to the heady position of fourth worst.

Despite the website's name, airports weren't just rated according to how easy it is to catch some shuteye.

Readers were asked to judge facilities in four categories: comfort, conveniences, cleanliness, and customer service.

Is Islamabad's Benazir Bhutto International really so bad?

Airport officials didn't reply to CNN's requests for a comment, but survey respondents were less than complimentary.

"This airport is [like] a central prison," said one who complained of touts and aggressive taxi drivers.

The survey ranked Saudi Arabia's busiest airport, Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International as second worst, followed by Nepal's Kathmandu Tribhuvan International.

Manila's climb to fourth follows what many respondents said was a "slight improvement" created by the recent opening of its Terminal 3.

NAIA improved just because of some minor facelifts. But give this another 3-5 years, things will go back the way it was. We need a new Capital, screw Manila.

Ang ranking ra in improve - Dili tungod sa improvement sa airport natu Kundi tungod sa ka mas bati sa airport sa uban nasod
