What are the busiest airports in the U.S.? It is easy to take a guess and chances are, you'd probably be right.
I have not had any issues on how busy an airport is, my issue with some of them are their sizes. If I have a connecting flight that I have to get to at such airports as Phoenix Sky Harbor, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport or even Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (I refuse to call it by its new name) it is highly stressful, besides physically taxing, to get from one terminal to another. This is especially true if I am not familiar with its layout and it is as big as a small town.
Travel + Leisure has posted an article on the busiest airports in the U.S. Even though Los Angeles International Airport came in at number five, I've found its layout to be user-friendlier than the others. I also have not had any problems with Chicago's O'Hare International Airport either. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, also making the list, is one of the worst. The place is enormous. That's why I am glad we went to Dallas Love Field instead last year.
They begin their article with:
Atlanta's international airport was once again the busiest airport in the world in 2021, according to a new study, seeing more than 75 million passengers pass through its terminals last year.
The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which was temporarily dethroned in 2020 by Guangzhou Bai Yun International Airport, saw a 76.4% increase in traffic compared to the first year of the pandemic, according to the Airports Council International. However, the airport still didn't reach pre-pandemic levels and remained 31.5% down from 2019.
Atlanta was followed by Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Denver International Airport, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, and Los Angeles International Airport rounding out the top five. Eight of the top 10 busiest airports were in the United States.
