I am getting on a plane today (or I'm on a plane or I'm getting off a plane, depending on when you read this). I am going to visit my brother and his family in Ohio for several days. (They have internet and I am taking my computer with me. I'll be around the blogosphere, although I may not be checking in daily.) So, in honor of my travel day, I thought it would be fun to find the top 13 U.S. airports. Yes, this is a Thursday 13.
I got my data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, ranked by passenger enplanements for the year 2025. (I used the spreadsheet which was the third sheet tab at the bottom of the chart.)
- Atlanta, GA (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International)
- Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (Dallas/Fort Worth International)
- Chicago, IL (Chicago O'Hare International)
- Denver, CO (Denver International)
- Los Angeles, CA (Los Angeles International)
- New York, NY (John F. Kennedy International)
- Orlando, FL (Orlando International)
- Las Vegas, NV (McCarran International)
- Miami, FL (Miami International)
- San Francisco, CA (San Francisco International)
- Charlotte, NC (Charlotte Douglas International)
- Seattle, WA (Seattle/Tacoma International)
- Phoenix, AZ (Phoenix Sky Harbor International)
None of the airports I'll be in are on this list. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I do know that when I went through Denver last year, things did not go so well.
Deus caritas est!
ReplyDeleteAtlanta doesn't surprise me. I have to go through there all the time.
ReplyDeleteHope your travels go smoothly.

I'm surprised there is no Boston Logan on the list. Happy trails!
ReplyDeleteIts been a few years since I traveled via plane. I think it was 2021. I can just assume crap has gotten crazier in traveling and having to get off at different airports. I make it a point to fly non stop. So my trips to Calif are just at four hours. What is the time for your trip. In several post in the past yrs I have stated that I have been considered, strange, odd, etc, never whimsical, thank you, I would add that to my list.
ReplyDeleteHappy travels! I hope your flights go smoothly.
ReplyDeleteGlad I no longer travel! Hope your flights are smooth…
ReplyDeleteHoping you had safe travels both yesterday and on your return flight. I've known too many people with recent bad experiences. The good news is, at least you have an airport. Ours almost lost its one airline earlier this year, which would have made anyone drive an hour to the nearest one just to be able to fly somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!
