Three area airport terminals were cited as among the worst in the world yesterday � with Kennedy�s Terminal 3 earning the dubious distinction as the most miserable layover location on the planet.
The former Pan Am terminal � which now houses Delta Air Lines � took home the dubious dishonor for its �endless immigration lines,� crummy food and shopping options, and dank environment, according to the travel Web site Frommer�s.
The terminal was in such shoddy shape that it was ranked three spots below Nairobi�s International Airport � described by the site as a �Third World construction site� that travelers should avoid.
Fortunately for area fliers, Port Authority and Delta Air Lines are in the midst of a $1.2 billion renovation of Terminal 3, which is expected to be complete in 2013.
The bottom-10 list of the worst terminals includes two others in the New York area � La Guardia�s US Airways Terminal and Newark�s Terminal B, ranked at seventh and eighth, respectively.
The rundown La Guardia terminal earned low marks for being �dull� and �sad.�
Meanwhile, Newark Liberty Airport�s Terminal B � home to international airlines like British Airways and Air France � was knocked for its poor layout and lack of food and shopping choices.

I beg to differ! I was just in EWR’s Terminal B & it wasn’t too bad at all. As for Useless Air’s terminal at LGA, its been about two years and that wasn’t too bad either.
