This year, Frommer's World's 10 Most Beautiful Airport Terminals includes JFK Terminal 5 in New York City. For over fifty years, Arthur Frommer has published travel advice for destinations around the world, including Saudi Arabia, Iceland, Seoul, New Zealand, Singapore, Marrakech, Madrid, Uraguay, and Bilbao. These ten locations have the most beautiful airport terminals, according to Frommer's.
Originally designed for TWA by Eero Saarinen, Terminal 5 has been "intelligently swallowed by the grasping tendrils of JetBlue's modern new terminal," according to Frommer's website. JFK terminals have been operating for over sixty years, and restoration and demolition have been common activities. The I.M. Pei-designed Terminal 6 was demolished at the end of 2011.
