Data Reveals The Best And Worst Airports In The World—Is Yours On The List?


Airports Are Awesome

Well, at least some of them are. And some of them sure aren't. AirHelp has gone and ranked 239 of them across 69 countries—and these are the 35 best and the 35 worst. But before we jump into the rankings—how about a quick note on the methodology used to get said rankings?

Each airport gets an overall score based on their scores in three metrics:

On-Time Performance: OTP is 60% of the total score and a flight is deemed on-time if it "arrived within 15 minutes of its published arrival time".

Customer Service: This one is worth 20% of the score and was determined based on actual customer surveys of "air travelers in more than 64 countries, [gathering] over 17,550 unique airport ratings" on factors, including: Airport staff, Wait times, Accessibility and Cleanliness.

Food and Shops: This one is also worth 20% of the score and was determined based on travelers' ratings of the shops and restaurants in airports they'd visited.

And now for the rankings: We'll start with the 35 worst airports (205 to 239) and then look at the 35 best (35 to 1). Have you spent time in any of the ones on the list? Do you agree with the ranking?

Oceanographers have uncovered new evidence that completely changes our understanding of the Bermuda Triangle.

The story of the Bermuda Triangle is no secret—but there’s so much that people don’t know. Could there really be some kind of unknown force behind the rash of disturbing incidents and disappearances in that patch of the Atlantic Ocean, or is it all just a bizarre coincidence? The truth is much stranger than you’d expect.
