The USA ’ s Worst Airport: Which One?

In today’s world, people prefer to fly to reach fast from one place to another. To catch a flight, one has to go to the airport where the flights will be uniformly scattered.

Whenever they announce the flight, people have to board it. This seems like a pretty easy task to do and it also used to be. People used to reach airports sometime before the flight leaves and it was great.

But as the world population grows, everyone is participating in the race. Also, everyone is competing to win. It also has somewhat affected airports. More and more people are boarding the flights every day making the airports more crowded than ever.

Every year a list shows the best and worst airports of the world and surprisingly, one of the strongest and powerful countries of the world i.e. United States of America’s airports also achieved some spots in the list.

This airport located in the Chicago region of Illinois is, by all means, a fantastic airport with good food options and seating capacity but the main reason that brought this airport in this list is the distance from one terminal to another and high frequency of flight delays due to bad weather or any other reason.

8. Los Angeles International Airport

Los Angeles International Airport is seen on November 1, 2013, after a gunman repotedly shot 3 people at a security checkpoint. At least two people were injured Friday when a gunman opened fire at Los Angeles' international (LAX) airport, parts of which were evacuated as police swarmed into the area, officials and reports said.

LAX located in Los Angeles, California is one of the busiest airports in the USA. So many people boarding flights from this airport, it has failed to stand out to everyone’s expectations.

The food joints and the quality of the food along with poorly laid terminal signs and seating have reserved this airport’s spot in the worst airport’s list.
