Winner: Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Honorable mention (most on time): Salt Lake City International, Seattle Tacoma International
Travel and Leisure conducted a rigorous airport satisfaction survey in June 2012, evaluating 22 major US airports on categories including punctuality, design, amenities, food and drink, check-in and security, and location. The winner? Minneapolis-St Paul International, which T+L readers gave top marks for shopping (it has its own mall!), food options (18 full-service restaurants!), service, and security.
MSP is a great place to be stuck during a layover, or the ever-likely Minnesota snowstorm. But for punctual flying, the top-performing airports are Salt Lake City International (for North American airports) and Seattle Tacoma International (for major international airports, according to FlightStats’ annual on-time service awards for airports and carriers. )
