3 - Am I in the airport or Heaven?

You'll want to fly through as many of these airports as you can.  Specifically choose a routing that include these airports even if you have to spend a few extra dollars.

What makes this airport "special":
- have amenities that take into consideration the needs and comfort of travellers.  You may find movie theatres, luggage storage, spas, hair salons, sleep rooms/sleep pods, wifi, showers, phone chargers.
- most importantly, you'll find comfortable and plentiful seating.  Unfortunately even the good airports are bringing in the seats with armrests, but there are usually seats without armrests somewhere around the airport.  It is your task to go find them.
- variety in tasty and healthy dining.  Bonus points for nice bars with decent priced liquor.  American airports usually lose points in this category as they are full of sticky Cinnabons, greasy Burger Kings and generally lack healthy cuisine.
- security, airline and airport staff are usually very accommodating.  Gestures like blankets and cots may be found here.
