Southwest Florida International Airport was ranked as one of the worst airports in the U.S., according to a report by thepointsguy.com. The study examined the 50 busiest U.S. airports by number of passengers, focusing on amenities, commute time and on-time flight records. Overall, calculations were based on 34 different factors, including flight delays, cancellations, ride-hailing prices, restaurants, lounges, security wait times and more.

San Diego International Airport is the best U.S. airport, according to a new study conducted by The Points Guy, a leading resource for travel news with 10 million unique visitors a month. San Diego International Airport was awarded the top spot because of its high grades for ample amenities (#11), a great record of timeliness (#16) and the best score for commute time (#1), likely for its convenient proximity to the downtown area. Phoenix Sky Harbor, a known travelers’ favorite, came in second place this year. Phoenix had the second-best commute time but fell short in terms of getting flights in and out on time (#39). Best U.S. Airports 1. San Diego International Airport 2. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport 3. Portland (Oregon) International Airport 4. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport 5. Sacramento International Airport With only one lounge and few restaurants, it’s no surprise that Chicago’s Midway International Airport ranked in the Bottom 5 for amenities (#46). That, paired with long wait times (#46) and a less-than-desirable commute (#33), earned the Chicago airport the last spot on the list. Orlando earned its second-to-last position for poor amenities (#42) and long commute times (#46). Worst U.S. Airports 46. Southwest Florida International Airport 47. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport 48. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport 49. Orlando International Airport 50. Chicago Midway International Airport “Frequent travelers aren’t likely to move to be near the best airports,” said Scott Mayerowitz, executive news director of The Points Guy. “However, knowing the pros and cons of each airport is a helpful guide when planning your trip. If you know the airport you’re traveling through lacks amenities, pack a meal. Leave early if commute times are unpredictable, and try to schedule connecting flights through more-reliable airports.” New plans for RSW. (Credit: WINK News) Individual category winners include John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City (amenities), San Diego International Airport (commute) and Portland International Airport in Oregon (on-time flights). Conversely, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport took last place in the amenity’s category, while Newark Liberty International Airport ranked #50 for both commute and on-time record. The study examined the 50 busiest U.S. airports by number of passengers and used data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, ExpertFlyer.com, the CLEAR website, Uber and Lyft’s fare estimators, Google Maps, LEED, the airports’ official websites and more. The data for driving times was generated through a partnership with INRIX. The scores were derived from relative performance of airports in passenger comfort, commuter accessibility and reliability. Calculations were based on 34 different factors, including flight delays, cancellations, ride-hailing prices, restaurants, lounge access and security wait times. 2019 Best and Worst Airports as ranked by The Points Guy.
