The best and worst 15. The results?
The best airports are Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX), Salt Lake City (SLC), Portland (PDX) and San Diego (SAN), all of which were very accessible by public transport, and few flight delays.
The world's largest metropolitan hub: New York City and its suburbs.
JFK in Queens was the worst, followed closely by LaGuardia and Newark. JFK passengers often experience significant delays, cancellations, a long drive to the airport, especially if they're coming from Manhattan, and extensive waits for connections. The airport also reportedly has a poor job of accommodating ride-sharing. The LGA had JFK beat was affordability of parking.

The most improved airport in Washington was Washington Dulles, which jumped form 24th to 8th place. The two factors that provided the boost were its ratio of lounges to passengers (comfort!) And "quality of life" services. It is not very accessible by public transport, but it was given less weight in this year's survey.
