Reasons These US Airports Are The Worst For Layovers
By Kristi Roe-Owen
ACATIONS
DFW
Dallas Fort Worth International is consistently named one of the worst airports in the country, and on access to charging points, Marketwatch gave the airport an abysmal 2.5.
On Skytrax customer ratings, DFW got three out of five stars for terminal seating, cleanliness, and signage. On queuing times and food selection, DFW got two out of five stars.
Hartsfield-Jackson
Though it scored 4 out of 5 points on charging stations, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport ranked lower than DFW overall on MarketWatch's ranking.
On Skytrax’s ranking of terminal seating, staff, queuing times, and food, the airport scored two. Customers complained about the rudeness of airport staff and long security lines.
Nashville
MarketWatch gave Nashville International Airport a 2.5 for both cleanliness and seat availability. The airport also scored mid-to-low across the board on Skytrax.
While the airport has tried to offer more food and beverage options, they tend to be low-quality versions of the real deal. In addition, the airport can generally run pretty loud.
San Diego
San Diego International got 2.8 on MarketWatch for seating and scored a mere two points on Skytrax. Airport guests are frequently forced to sit on the floor.
Reviewer C Jackson wrote, "This place is so tiny it's a fire trap!" There is also a shortage of bathrooms, with only one bathroom area near the terminals that tends to be dirty.
San Francisco
While MarketWatch ranked the airport in its number 10 spot for families enduring layovers, it tied for last place with the lowest-ranked airport for layovers overall.
On Skytrax, the airport received a three on seating availability, signage, and terminal cleanliness, and a two for queuing times, airport staff, and food and beverage.
