This New Jersey Airport Rated One Of The Worst In The United States
Every time I open up social media, I see someone talking about traveling or showing off where they have traveled to recently. But to reach one's desired destination, they have to endure the dreaded airport experience.
No one enjoys going through TSA Lines, dealing with flight delays, or paying for expensive food and drinks at the airport. Also, unless you have plenty of disposable income, the seats you pay for are typically cramped and I would not describe them as comfortable.
The team at Bookies.com gathered information on airports around the United States to find out what are the best and worst Airport Experiences. They used the following factors to rank the Major US Airports:
*Flight Cancellation Percentage
*Average TSA Wait Times
*Flight Delay Percentages
Their research team scored every airport on a scale of 50 to 1 (Worst to Best) based on the data collected. This resulted in a list with eight northeast airports rated among the Worst in the United States.
