Traveling through Nigeria's Port Harcourt International Airport any time soon? Sorry for your luck.
The African terminal received the unfortunate distinction of being named "world's worst airport" in 2015 by travel website,
The Guide to Sleeping in Airports.
This year's survey, which asked fliers to identify the world's worst and best aviation terminals, attracted 26,297 qualifying responses. Despite the site's name, airports weren't just rated according to how easy it is to take a nap while inside them.
Sleeping in Airports' readers were asked to judge facilities in four categories: comfort, conveniences, cleanliness and customer service.
Respondents reportedly complained about unpleasant and unhelpful staff, alleged corruption, a severe lack of seating, broken air-conditioning and the fact that the arrivals hall was inside a tent.
"The good news is that some areas of the terminal have been recently renovated, meaning you can expect actual walls, floors and windows. Though it is a far cry from reasonable, improvements are being made."
CNN has asked for a comment from aviation authorities in Nigeria, but so far no response. Remarkably, Port Harcourt didn't even appear on last year's worst airports list.
There were quite a few repeat offenders on this year's list though, as well as some notable omissions.
