MASSACHUSETTS — Logan Airport is among the better airports in the country when it comes to on-time flights, short layovers and the amenities travelers want, according to The Wall Street Journal’s 2023 U.S. Airport Rankings of the nation's 50 busiest airports.
The rankings were released last week ahead of the busy Thanksgiving travel season. An estimated 4.7 million people planned to fly to their destinations, more than in any year since 2005, according to AAA.
Using government data, a survey of travelers by data partner Dynata and other sources, The Journal looked at 30 different factors that can affect the trip, from buying a ticket to arriving at the destination. The overall score is based on two important measures: first, reliability, and second, value and convenience.
