Fasten Your Seatbelts; We’re About To Land In POO

Flight search specialists, Skyscanner have come up with a list of the weirdest, funniest and rudest airport names from around the world.

Airports such as Deception, Desolation Sound or Slave Lake in Canada, Danger Bay or Eek in the USA, and Mafia Airport in Tanzania, would perhaps best be avoided.

While Pickle Lake (Canada), Raspberry Strait (USA), Big Trout (Canada), and Duck (USA) all sound like culinary delights. Moron (Spain), Old Crow (Canada), Pratt (USA) Ponce (Puerto Rico) and Gaylord (USA) will either rise a wry smile, or cause serious offence.

Airport codes also leave a lot to be desired with POO (Pocos de Caldes in Brazil), PEE (Perm in Russia), SEX (Sembach Airport in Germany) and BUM (Butler Airport, USA) all highly likely to raise a few eyebrows when your flight tickets land on your doormat.

Perhaps only a certain size person could land at FAT (Fresno Yosemite, USA) and likewise only underweight people could land at EAT (Wenatchee, USA).

Maybe your feline friends would appreciate a visit to CAT (Cat Island in the Bahamas) or your other four legged pets might enjoy DOG (Dongola in Qatar).

The full list can be seen on the Skyscanner website.
