Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the best U.S. airport for travelers with a connecting flight, according to a recent Travel Leaders Group survey of its agents. Atlanta also came out on top for dining, amenities and business traveler services.
"Major airports have
transformed considerably in the last decade to accommodate the shift in
the amount of time travelers spend there," said Barry Liben, CEO of
Travel Leaders Group, in a press statement. "More amenities have been
added to appeal to travelers -- and in many cases, to occupy their time
-- while they wait for their flights."
Chicago's O'Hare
International Airport was rated as the worst domestic airport for
travelers with connecting flights. At least business travelers can keep
busy between transfers: O'Hare came in second in services for business
travelers.
Traveling with a child?
Given its role transporting families to Disney World and other theme
parks, it's no surprise that Orlando International Airport ranked as the
best domestic airport for people traveling with kids.
Minneapolis/St. Paul
International Airport didn't do too badly, either. The biggest airport
in the friendly state of Minnesota came in second place for dining,
amenities and keeping kids busy. And the Charlotte (North Carolina)
Douglas International Airport came in second for ease in connecting
flights.
The survey of 930 Travel
Leaders Group owners, managers and other travel experts in the United
States was conducted in November and December.
