10 scariest airports in the world

Traveling by airplane is no vacation. The number of passenger complaints rose 30 percent last year. Also, as the number of flights shrink and as oil prices rise, airfare prices continue to head skyward . All of that can add up to a less-than-pleasant air travel experience. But nothing can be less pleasant than an old-fashioned scary flight experience. Last year, Charlestown-based travel site SmarterTravel ranked the world's 10 scariest airports. From short runways to high winds to mountainous terrain, these 10 airports were deemed to be the scariest to fly in or out of.
