Ever tried freeform? Don’t tell me you don’t have creativity, there’s no such thing, the layout will come eventually.

Detroit, DTW is also an interesting and very possible build

Stansted Airport is a fairly easy one to replicate (minus then airport transit system)
Vancouver airport could be interesting to try and replicate with the way the terminal weaves a bit

I’ve tried - you would need more land. I just did the McNamara Terminal, scaled down. I’m a natural-born Floridian; so I always forget the need for deicing pads 
. I now find it better (at this point in ACEO development) to build in hot climates to avoid that “land hog.”
I too like recreating realistic airports, with what we can without 45-degree angles. I end up doing small/medium airports. Ones I have found that fit completely in the map size are ones like ALB, TUS, MLB, LCY, KOA, ITO. I recently did the old Hong Kong, all with large stands, and it barely fit HAHA. I’ve been planning on doing IND and the new MSY - both basically the same airport design. I’ve found an online search would always help with inspiration - “best medium airport design/layout.” I throw in “medium” so that I can make sure it would fit on the usual map size. Another fun recreate I like to do is “future” or “new” terminals/airports. Since they’re not done, I don’t feel “guilty” scaling it down to fit in the usual map size.
