Vancouver is #8 and is the only North American airport to make the list. I think it's a wonderful airport and feel very proud every time I enter it. I notice it took a few hits from the evaluators for surly over-zealous customs agents...I can testify to that!
Hong Kong's relatively new airport shares top spot with Singapore's. Ten years ago I was very surprised and disappointed by HK's very dingy airport...glad to see they have something world class now.
