5/ 5

A polished megahub for long layovers

Layla H.TransitTerminal T3
Pros

Gleaming halls, endless shopping, and comfortable spots to wait out a long connection.

Cons

The sheer scale means a lot of walking, and a shuttle bus between terminals if your gates are far apart.

I had a six-hour layover here and it flew by. Everything feels new and immaculately kept, and there's enough to eat, browse, and rest that boredom never set in. The one downside is the distance you cover on foot, so wear decent shoes.
