A new report shows the country’s most miserable airports: Newark (EWR), Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and LaGuardia (LGA) rank near the top of the list.

ValuePenguin.com looked at the U.S.’ busiest airports and ranked each based on the overall misery travelers endure there.

The findings were based on data from 84 American airports having at least 10,000 departures annually, and focused on six areas: flight cancellation rate, flight delay rate, tarmac delay rate, average length of delays, severe delay rate (those lasting an hour or longer) and security wait time during rush hour.

The airports were ranked with scores between zero (worst) and 100 (best), according to metrics compiled from the collective data.

Based on these criteria, the nation’s worst airports include:

  1. Newark Liberty International: Newark, New Jersey
  2. Chicago O’Hare International: Chicago, Illinois
  3. LaGuardia Airport: New York, New York
  4. Dallas/Fort Worth International: Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
  5. Boston Logan International: Boston, Massachusetts

The least miserable airports can all be found in the western United States.:

  1. Kahului Airport: Kahului, Hawai’i
  2. Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International: San Jose, California
  3. Daniel K. Inouye International: Honolulu, Hawai’i
  4. Spokane International: Spokane, Washington
  5. Portland International: Portland, Oregon

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
