If your holiday plans include air travel, try to avoid Newark Liberty International Airport and Chicago O’Hare Airport.
Those ranked worst among North American airports in customer satisfaction, according to a recent J.D. Power survey.
Airports in Detroit, Minneapolis and San Francisco – on the other hand– ranked high.
Overall, customer satisfaction is down and air traffic is up, according to the J.D. Power 2022 North American Airport Satisfaction Study. Passenger volume in September approached pre-pandemic numbers.
“But travelers are met with fewer flights, more crowded terminals and limited food and beverage options,” according to this CNN report on the survey.
The survey rated consumer satisfaction in six categories, listed in order of importance: terminal facilities, airport arrival/departure, baggage claim, security check, check-in/baggage check, and food, beverage and retail.
