The Washington Post Named the No. 1 Airport in the Country
Men's Journal ^ | Jun 26, 2025 | Kameron Duncan

For many people, a trip to the airport is simply a means to an end. Whether you're traveling for vacation or business, you'll need to catch your flight in order to get there - and that's where the airport comes in.

All airports have the same goal, but any traveler knows that all of them aren't created equally. Some airports are sprawling ecosystems with multiple terminals and acres of space, while others can be traversed entirely on foot.

One airport may have more opportunities for scenic views, while others offer better food options. The Washington Post recently ranked the best airports in the country, and the No. 1 choice passed nearly every test with flying colors.

The Post ranked Portland's International Airport (PDX) as the top airport in America.

The airport was praised for its architecture, including the massive video walls that line the terminal space. Stadium-style seating wood benches offer a holistic view of the terminal, allowing observers to see most of the foot traffic in the busy space.......

Other top airports on the list include Long Beach Airport in California, Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport and Seattle's Paine Field International Airport.

My favorite LA airport was Long Beach by a mile, but hard to get flights in/out. Also would not be a 1st choice if you have a long layover.

It's not a news paper either.

It’s just bad writing in the headline.

I bet they do it on purpose to get people to read the article to see what they’re talking about.

Best airport in the country is Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), the McNamara Terminal where Delta has a hub.

Well it’s sure not the Evans terminal at DTW, which sucks big time.

I think it’s more that their hires are poorly educated, and they no longer pay for human editors or proofreaders - they let machines do it all.

After landing at Chicago O’Hare airport and being told that it was a 22 minute walk to the gate for my next flight, I’ve become very fond of smaller airports. The Traverse City, Michigan airport is fantastic.

1. “The Washington Post HAS Named the No. 1 Airport in the Country”

2. “The Washington Post WAS Named the No. 1 Airport in the Country”

Big difference between 1 and 2.

Here is a Washington Post staffer demonstrating why that is so.
