Jewel Changi Airport

If you're going on vacation abroad this summer, you won't have to fly too far to get the best "airport experience" you can expect. It turns out thatAthensEleftherios Venizelos Airport in Greece ranks first in the ranking of airport experiences.

This ranking was conducted by AirAdvisor, and examines issues such as punctuality, distance from the heart of the city each airport serves, the level of shops operating there, the price of a trip to the nearest city and, of course, user ratings (including about 735,000 Google ratings). All these parameters were weighted together and became the overall score of each airport. The Athens airport, which was inaugurated two decades ago, excels mainly in terms of punctuality and the supply of stores in it.

The field with only 14 stores

Tenerife Airport, on the other hand, received a very low score for the shopping experience (with only 14 stores operating on its premises). In Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport is the least punctual of all those surveyed in the report. Venice had the most expensive transfers from the airport to the city. The airport in Bordeaux, France received the worst user reviews.

Anton Radchenko, CEO of AirAdvisor, said: "Most of us see choosing an airport as a matter of convenience – the closest destination to our home for a holiday. After all, airports usually do not enter into our considerations when choosing a vacation. But airports can have a significant impact on our holiday experience, especially in cases where flights are delayed or luggage is lost." By the way, a recent report showed that in 2022, 26 million bags and suitcases were lost. This is the highest rate in a decade.
