HOLD on to your seats, this is air travel at its most spectacular.

From a tiny beach runway to a nerve-racking yet stunning approach just metres above snow-capped mountains, the world’s most amazing airports to fly in to have been revealed in a survey by jet hire company Private Fly.

Barra airport in Scotland took out the top spot in the survey of 1000 passengers and pilots with 22 per cent of the votes.

One respondent described the experience as a: "Spectacular approach over beautiful islands, soft landing on the beach of white shells, taxiing up to the tiny terminal and then realising the whole island breathes to the rhythm of the tide."

And that’s just a hint of the plane magical views on offer around the world.
