Airports tend to evoke feelings of stress and uncertainty, especially in the peak summer season. Many of us have encountered long queues, security procedures and flight disruptions during our air travels. However, the airport experience can vary depending on where you are departing from.

In May 2024, AirHelp, a travel claims management agency, published a report ranking airports based on their performance for travelers.
