Payware quality airport available as freeware

You can check the AES 'supported airports' list for more suggestions. The list marks freeware airports with a 'F' and it includes links to the developers's sites (some of those links don't work anymore, unfortunately; that's where a search engine will help.)

YBCG (Gold Coast) is pretty good!

 

Kuala Lumpur International Airport is also being developed! 

Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering

There is an excellent freeware LIRF (Rome) scenery available.  Sorry don't have the link.

CYQB Quebec City. There's also a couple more add-ons for the city itself that are good.

another +1 for KPHL SunSkyJet http://www.sunskyjet.com/

If they were selling it for $25 I'd still be reccomending it, but the fact that it is free just makes it all the more amazing.

Another scenery I absolutely adore is "the Netherlands" by NL2000

This doesn't come with EHAM unfortunately, but you still get a great payware quality (but freeware) version of EHRD, and EHEH and EHGG and EHBK. A bit tight for a 777 perhaps (runway is fine, apron's a bit tight), but perfect for the NGX.

If you do not have ORBX's Brisbane, you may be interested in "Ants Aussie Airports: YBBN v1.01"

http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/topic/10093-ants-airports-ybbn-brisbane-v101/

 

Not quite as texture heavy as the Orbx version, this will result in better fps and less VAS usage. The airport is still quite acceptable to look at. Plenty of 777's visit Brisbane in real life, and it is capable of receiving A380 aircraft too.

Ants Aussie also made several other smaller airports around Australia that include: YPDN Darwin, YPTN Tindal, YBHM Hamilton Island, YBNA Ballina to name a few that are very fun. YPDN is a full international airport. Tindal is an RAAF base with a small Civillian apron as a shared runway, Ballina is used daily by A320 and B737 aircraft, Hamilton island too recieves 737 and A320 aircraft daily.

Just a little south of Brisbane is the Gold Coast airport, which receives a daily 777-200ER from Scoot Airlines in real life. This single-runway airport has no ILS approaches, only VOR & RNAV's. One of the Standard Terminal Arrival Route's (STAR) from the south actually end in visual approaches.

I just remembered the LIRF freeware by ISDproject. It was pretty detailed.
