Actually the airports of Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris are all bigger, better and see more traffic than outdated Heathrow.

You could definitely argue that Heathrow isn't the best airport, but it's clearly the biggest by passenger numbers:

(CDG might be bigger for non-human traffic)

As a French citizen, I'd like to object vigorously to the notion that Paris (if you mean Paris Charles de Gaulle, Paris' main airport) is one of the "better" airports.

If I believe wikipedia, Heathrow is actually Europe's busiest airport (CDG is next).
