Used to seeing big airports with lots of planes on standby? Well, for some airports, the phrase the bigger, the better doesn’t quite justify their aesthetics. And you will believe us once you behold these tiny yet beautiful airports from across the world that are no less than a tourist destination.
1. Lord Howe Island Airport, Australia
This volcanic crescent-shaped island off the New South Wales coast in Australia is also a UNESCO heritage site visited only by a handful but surely some of the luckiest people in the world.

The landing strip on the Hebridean island of Barra is one of a kind. Its rugged texture has the planes landing on the lovely white sands of Tràigh Mhòr beach. The airport has been named the second most scenic airport in the world.
3. St Helena Airport, St Helena, British Overseas Territory
