America’s awful airports: A new ranking


SOGGY pizza, surly security staff and endless queues: American airports offer a shabby welcome to the greatest nation on earth. On March 26th Skytrax, a consultancy, released its list of the world’s 100 best airports. The highest-ranked in America was tiny Cincinnati, at 27th.The Economist delved into data on over 1m flights in 2013. For the most popular routes leaving America (see map), jets almost always land at an airport which is more highly-rated than the one from which they took off. We estimate that altogether 67% of people who fly out of America arrive at a better airport. The huddled masses deserve better.
