The World's BEST Airports: Where Delays Don't Seem So Bad (PHOTOS)

The World's Best Airports: Skytrax (PHOTOS)

This week the British consulting firm Skytrax released its World Airport Awards, an annual ranking of the world's airports.

Now in its eleventh year, the study, which was funded strictly by the research group, surveyed air travelers in more than 38 criteria related to customer satisfaction (including check-in, arrivals and transfers) for more than 190 airports.

And while airports may be generally reviled, there are some standouts, commended by passengers for their cleanliness, efficiency, design and amenities. And with extras that include free massage chairs, internet, a cinema, waterfalls, and, in one truly exceptional case, a butterfly garden, who can blame them?

Check out a quick list of the world's top five airports -- and the reasons travelers love them so much -- and vote for the ones you'd most like to get stuck in (if you were to get stuck!) below:
