Has anyone ever flown into Albuquerque and felt deathly ill from the wild approach angle?

Question

I fly to Albuquerque, NM a lot cause my family lives there. That is the WORST approach to an airport I have ever been on, and I dread it everytime I fly there. It's especially quite bumpy flying in from the east..crossing the mountain range to the east of the airport..making that sickening sharp right turn while decending to the runway...BLAH..Does anyone else fly this approach frequently and know what i mean?

Answer 1

I've flown in there once.. It has nothing on the old Hong Kong Airport.. Kai Tak.

The landing at 0:32 and the approach at 1:23 were standard without any wind. With wind.. not fun. Plus you were literally on top of buildings going in.. I hated flying there.
