The 10 favorite airports in the US… and the 5 worst airports to avoid in case of delays: these are the US Dreamliners and flightmares

A recent poll found that the best airport in America is Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

The result came from traveler reviews between October 2022 and February 2023 and was published by Magazine for travel and leisure.

It was during this time that there were major delays across the country due to weather systems, with over 10,000 flights delayed in the run up to Christmas.

This more than likely impacted the polls, with smaller airports overwhelming winners – with passengers scoring them on access, check-in and security, restaurants and bars, and shopping and design.

Travel and Leisure said: ‘Most of the airports on the list are regional airports that serve as less congested alternatives to large airports that are often too small to handle their passenger flow.’

1. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport: Manchester, New Hampshire

About fifty miles outside of Boston, Massachusetts, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport was crowned the winner.

One voter recalled, “Soon became my absolute favorite airport; it’s nice and clean and so quick and easy to get in and out of.’

The airline serves approximately 1.7 million passengers annually and has flights on American, Southwest and United, among others.

The airport managed to maintain an arrival time of 81 percent during last winter’s chaos, which dropped to 68 percent in December.

Another voter commented: ‘All the employees I meet at MHT are knowledgeable and really enjoy their work.

“Security is a breeze and the TSA agents are extremely professional.”

Out of a possible score of 100, the regional airport scored 85.31 according to the list.

2. Indianapolis International Airport: Indianapolis, Indiana

Four points lower than the top choice was Indianapolis International Airport, with a score of 80.08.

They serve between seven and eight million people each year, with flights to 40 destinations in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The score on time on arrival often falters around eighty percent, such as with Manchester-Boston.

The airport had previously won an award for best customer service in North America.

3. Tampa International Airport: Tampa, Florida

With a punctuality rate of around 78 percent for all of last year, Tampa International Airport was next on the list.

Florida’s airport has a high number in time for the fall season after the summer pattern of thunderstorms dissipates.

Similarly, flight delay rates fell around the holidays and during spring break.

In data from the Department of Transportation, Tampa ranked 10th for the most lost luggage at an airport in 2022.

According to the airport, about 22 million passengers fly through the airport every year.

Readers of Travel and Leisure rated the airport with 80.08, just behind second place.

4. St. Paul International Airport: Minneapolis, Minnesota

In fourth place with an annual on-time rate of more than 81.8 percent, tying the top of the list, was St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota.

Despite freezing temperatures often requiring the assistance of defrosting, the arrival rate for the period surveyed was nearly 92 percent.

The airport pretends to be a joint international airport for civil and military public use, located ten miles from downtown Minneapolis.

According to the Metropolitan Airport Commission, 31.2 million passengers passed through the airport in 2022.

In March of this year, it was also named the best airport in North America, for airports with between 25 and 40 million passengers.

It was the sixth time in seven years that the airport took home the Airports Council International (ACI) Airport Service Quality Program award.

Overall, readers rated the airport 79.93.

5. Portland International Airport – Portland, Oregon

The top five ranked airports in the United States is completed by Portland International Airport, with a readership rating of 79.44.

In 2022, approximately 7.2 million passengers passed through the airport, with a punctuality score of just over 79 percent for 2022.

In December this dropped to 65 percent, probably due to the winter storm that hit the west coast last year.

In February of this year, a near-record snowfall hit the city and jammed runways at the airport.

Despite this, flights still managed to get in and out of the airport, but still reported delays of forty flights.

The rest of the top ten were completed by TF Green Airport in Rhode Island, Savanah/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia, Palm Beach International in Florida, Salt Lake City International and Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International in
