2 Florida airports ranked among best domestic airports in the US: study

ORLANDO, Fla. - Two Florida airports are receiving high praise for being ranked among the ten best domestic airports in the country. 

Travelers chose airports they believe prioritize efficiency and safety, according to a 2023 study by Travel + Leisure.

"Most airports on the list are regional ones that serve as less-crowded alternatives to major airports that are often too small to handle their passenger flow," the study stated.

The airports were rated on the criteria of access, check-in/security, restaurant/bars, shopping and design.

Of the 10 airports chosen, Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Florida, ranked No. 3 and Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida, at No. 8.
