Denver and Orlando the nicest big U.S. airports, New York's the worst
by Rob Beschizza from on (#43088)
The Wall Street Journal ranked America's 20 largest airports. The rankings contain few surprises.
The top three airports-Denver, Orlando and Phoenix-have one major factor in common: strong competition among airlines. Denver is one of the few airports with three major airlines connecting customers: United, Southwest and Frontier. In Phoenix, American and Southwest compete with connecting hubs. In Orlando, the largest airline, Delta, controls only 28% of passenger traffic.
