If you are a frequent flyer you may have encountered several frustrating aspects of your airport experience. The first one is getting there. Many airports are far and expensive to get to – not counting the time it takes to get there. Once you are at an airport you may want to use their rest rooms and these can be irritatingly unclean.
Exorbitantly priced food outlets at airports are another worry. Airport security and departure delays all add to spoil the travel experience before it even begins.
The folks at Bloomberg Businessweek decided to compile an index of these frustrating aspects of travel to rate airports across the United States and Canada – unfortunately other international airports are not part of this study.
New York’s three airports were among the top 5 most frustrating airports. New York Laguardia was No.1 followed by Newark, Chicago’s O’Hare, Washington Dulles and JFK, New York.
The commute time was the worst for JFK airport in New York. Boston’s Logan airport on the other hand has the best commute time. If you are at an airport and get the urge to go, try to avoid La Guardia which has the worst rest rooms – the best being in Tampa Florida.
The airport with the lowest Frustration Index – Vancouver International in Canada.
