Longest walks at airports

You can walk a long way at LAX through all the tunnels that connect the terminals airside.
 
My longest walk (or airport transfer anyway) was at Dubai a year or two ago.
The A380 taxied around after landing for so long we were beginning to wonder if we were actually taxiing to the Abu Dhabi terminal.
Eventually we parked just over the fence from some sort of industrial area. Couldn't see the terminal.
After a considerable period of time some stairs arrived and eventually a bus. A nice bus, but the economy passengers had to wait in our dust.
Bus drove for an age and eventually dropped us at the very end of the biggest terminal in the world. We lugged our hand luggage up to then face what seemed like a 20km hike to what we thought was a gate lounge but turned out to be a train stop to our real terminal.
By the time we got there, there was no time for a shower after our ordeal and we staggered smellily onto the next plane. Pity the economy guys somewhere behind us!
Can't imagine a longer or more challenging transfer.

Couldnt agree more - only been thru DXB once when flying EK F FRA-DXB-MEL - FRA-DXB flt on 777 - apron deplane - from landing took 1hr to get to lounge and nobody on this planet walks quicker in a terminal than I do - more than happy to never see DXB again!
