Current Leaderboard for Best Small Airport
Note from 10Best: Someday, we'll all be ready to pack our suitcases again and head out on our next adventures. In the meantime, we'll keep supporting the places that inspire us. Contact individual airports for the latest updates. While giant airports like JFK, LAX and Chicago O’Hare often dominate the travel scene due to the sheer number of passengers who pass through them each day, the United States is home to many smaller, friendlier airports that take some of the headache out of travel. These 15 airports serve fewer than 10 million passengers each year, yet excel with their commercial flight offerings, easy access and amenities. Vote once per day until polls close on Monday, February 1 at noon ET. The 10 winning airports, determined by your vote, will be announced on Friday, February 12.
