4 of the top 5 airports in the country are located in western states, and Florida has 3 of the nation’s worst airports
Four of the Top 5 airports in the country are located in western states, and Florida has three of the nation’s worst airports, a new study byThe best U.S. airport is San Diego International, and the other western airports in the Top 5 are Arizona’s Phoenix Sky Harbor International, California’s Sacramento International and Oregon’s Portland International.
San Diego and Phoenix, which ranks No. 2, offer travelers “a vast array of amenities to make the journey as pleasant as possible,” he says. “San Diego offers 38 dining options, which is amazing for an airport of that size. Phoenix offers six different lounges to relax in prior to a flight, and both airports generally have minimal delays.”
At Midway, “gates are cramped, flights are routinely delayed, daily parking fees are some of the highest in the nation and the only lounge is one operated by the USO,” Mayerowitz says. “The airport is renovating to make itself more appealing, but that will cause more heartache for travelers.” “Thunderstorms are not predictable and can lead to many delays,” Mayerowitz says. “Further, Florida’s airports are some of the nation’s oldest. All have had major additions over the years but aren’t exactly the best in the nation. Fort Lauderdale, for instance, often has traffic delays, and some terminals have minimal food offerings.”
