The Points Guy recently released its rankings of the 15 best and worst airports in America.
Looking at amenities, accessibility, and timeliness, the travel website compiled a report ranking airports based on aspects it described as most important to travelers.
The rankings focused on factors such as the timeliness of arrivals and departures, the number of lounges, options for dining and shopping, and the cost of transportation to and from an airport.
John F. Kennedy International Airport was ranked as the worst airport in the country, with LaGuardia Airport coming in as the second-worst.

Traveling can be a hassle, but sometimes a specific airport makes the experience that much worse.

The travel website The Points Guy recently released its rankings of the 15 best and worst airports in the US. Using data from the Department of Transportation, the airports themselves, and third parties, the website evaluated each airport on factors such as timeliness of arrivals and departures, the number of lounges, options for dining and shopping, and the cost of transportation to and from the airport.

Looking at amenities, accessibility, and timeliness, The Points Guy compiled a report ranking airports based on aspects it described as most important to travelers.

And from a traveler's angle, its rankings appear pretty objective. Anyone who has passed through Midway International Airport in Chicago knows it's a barren place with few amenities; it was ranked last in The Points Guy's "amenities" category.

And any New Yorker can tell you that getting to John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens is a nightmare; that airport was last in the "accessibility" category — and last in the rankings overall.

The Points Guy's editors said JFK Airport had "nearly universally poor scores for delays (third worst), cancellations (fourth worst, though LGA was worst), the longest time to drive to from the center of the city (68 minutes!) and a three-way tie for the longest connection times."
