@JDB which airports are you thinking of when you describe them as “showcase”?

Singapore and Doha are two that come to mind. They go beyond good functionality, are very wasteful of space and are as much about projecting an image about their country as they are airports. There’s nothing wrong with that an it’s great for the passenger, but unaffordable / unachievable for most airport operators. China has huge airports and some striking architecture but no fripperies.
