The inaugural WSJ ranking of the top 20 U.S. airports based on 15 key measures of performance, value and convenience, was released today.
The rankings were led by the Wall Street Journal’s Middle Seat columnist Scott McCartney and are based on a number of different data points. The rankings were also informed by over 4,800 Wall Street Journal readers, who responded to a survey and provided feedback on airports across the country.
“This is one of the most comprehensive rankings of airports ever assembled,” McCartney said. “We focused on what matters most to travelers, from airfares to TSA wait times to food ratings; delays and cancellations to parking rates and long walks to gates.”
