Transportation company Mozio just ranked the most and least stressful airports in the United States, and we have thoughts! They analyzed the 20 busiest airports in the U.S. by passenger traffic and ranked them according to how frequently flights are delayed, how much it costs to park for a day, and how long it takes to reach the city centre from the airport.
Orlando International Airport
We expected the highest-stress airports like Chicago O’Hare, LaGuardia, and John F. Kennedy International Airport, but we were surprised to see where our beloved Orlando International Airport stood on the ranking!
The Orlando International Airport ranked eighth for the least stressful airports in the U.S.! MCO’s daily parking rate is only $24, and the airport is only 25 minutes from downtown Orlando. Plus, 75.3% of flights depart within 15 minutes of their scheduled time. Overall, MCO’s airport stress score was a 4.39 out of 10. That’s not too bad!

The full ranking of the least stressful airports in the U.S. is:
8. Orlando International Airport (4.39/10)
7. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (4.21/10)
6. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (3.69/10)
5. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (3.68/10)
4. Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada (3.16/10)
3. San Francisco International Airport (2.98/10)
2. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (2.28/10)
1. Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (1.76/10)
San Francisco International Airport
The top five most stressful airports in the U.S. are:
5. Denver International Airport (7.02/10)
3. Newark Liberty International Airport (7.19/10)
3. John F. Kennedy International Airport (7.19/10)
2. LaGuardia Airport in New York City (7.54/10)
1. Chicago O’Hare International Airport (8.42/10)
LaGuardia Airport
We’ve always had a soft spot for MCO, but now it’s officially confirmed as one of the best airports in the U.S.! This just feels like even more of a reason to check out the airport, especially as it’s working on adding tons of new updates. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more travel news.
