Which? readers described Luton Airport as "dark and gloomy" and "poorly designed and poorly signed inside and out".

In the poll, smaller airports outperformed the bigger hubs.

Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, said: "Our research shows a jumbo jet-sized gap in the performance of UK airports with smaller terminals generally performing better.
