North American airport survey

I flew to Tampa several times a year for 20 years and always liked the airport so I’m not surprised they have the highest score of all categories.

I'm happy to see MSP at the top of their category, and I agree with that assessment. I'm not surprised to see Cleveland at the bottom of their category—I hate flying through there.

I agree with one of the commenters that follows in the article, PDX is a logistical mess. Being in Central Oregon means we can fly out of our small airport (that has the nicest TSA agents ever) and go directly to San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, etc without having to deal with Portland.

In most respects my partner and I agree with Detroit's placement.

My first flight ever was from Detroit to Hartford CT in 1977 as a student.
I suspect my last flight will be back to Detroit.

Our only issue is the stranglehold Delta has on our options.

It was news to me that the US is the only country in North America that has airports.

Allan, Ontario Airport is listed a second of medium-size airports. There may be more, because I'm not familiar with all the airports named on here.

ETA: Oops, that is incorrect—there is an American Ontario Airport.

So here is what one article said:

A spokesperson for J.D. Power confirmed that while Canadian residents were still surveyed about their travel experiences, an internal change to how data was sampled in Canada meant that major Canadian hubs like Toronto Pearson International Airport did not qualify for the final rankings.

It does seem to me that if they're going to do that, then they should change the name of it to the United States, rather than North American.

Allan: 😉

YVR in Vancouver….(Canada)…(North America)....consistently comes high on wider lists of “best “ airports.
Most of give a huge sigh of contentment when we land here after a trip.

I laugh every time that I see the high ratings that Indianapolis Airport gets. Yes, it's busy on Race Weekend and handles that traffic well, but if you fly in to the city after 10:00 PM everything is closed and tucked in for the night. Living in 'flyover' America, we get frustrated because there are very few direct flights, so it will always cost extra dollars and time to get anywhere. Maybe the airport scores well because it is not challenged with a comprehensive flight schedule.

A little surprised to see Denver so low. Until a couple of years ago, I flew in and out of there once or twice a year to go skiing. I thought it was fine (and especially appreciated the ski bag carousel!). Taxiing to and from the runway always seemed to take forever, though.
