Recent Survey Shows Newark Liberty International Airport Lags in Stress-Free Travel

A recent study conducted by Marketwatch has revealed that Newark Liberty International Airport ranks near the bottom when it comes to stress-free travel. The study, which investigated the 30 largest airports in the country, took into consideration factors such as delayed and canceled flights, security wait times, and average airfare cost.

The results of the study placed Newark Liberty International Airport at a disappointing 29th out of 30, with Dallas/Fort Worth International narrowly beating it for the title of most stressful airport. The poor ranking of Newark can be attributed to the fact that over 21% of its flights were delayed, while 2. 5% were outright canceled.

According to the study, Newark airport also scored low in terms of maximum wait time for security, at an average of 36. 1 minutes, and an average airfare cost of $427. These factors contributed to its low ranking and made it a less desirable option for travelers.

Unfortunately, the other airports serving New York City did not fare much better. John F. Kennedy International Airport ranked 19th on the list, while LaGuardia Airport ranked 21st.

On the other hand, the study identified five airports that offer a more stress-free travel experience. These were Minneapolis-St. Paul International, Phoenix Sky Harbor International, Salt Lake City International, Los Angeles International, and Detroit Metro Wayne County.

In conclusion, the study by Marketwatch highlights the need for improvements in Newark Liberty International Airport to provide a more stress-free travel experience for its customers. With more than 20% of flights being delayed and an average security wait time of over 30 minutes, it is clear that there is room for improvement. Hopefully, with the release of this study, the necessary changes will be made to make Newark airport a more desirable option for travelers.
