This Georgia airport has been named the best in the country

Best airports in the country 1. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport: "SAV is not a particularly busy airport, but it’s that smallness, not to mention its town square–inspired layout, that makes it feel intimate and inviting. Travelers might feel as if they’ve been transported back in time to a historic Southern street, complete with benches and a large clock. Here, they can shop for cigars or golfing gear and dine at the PGA Tour Grill. It might come as little surprise that this Georgia airport was once named the “happiest” in the country—in a survey by a dating site, no less," Conde Nast Traveler said.

ATLANTA — There’s nothing worse than being stuck in an airport on a long delay but depending on where you’re flying into or out of, it could be a whole lot easier if there are good restaurants, places to shop and a clean atmosphere.

Each year, Conde Nast Traveler readers vote in the magazine’s Readers’ Choice Awards, and in this year’s category for Best Airports in the U.S., Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport came in at No. 1!

Best airports in the country 10. Detroit Metropolitan Airport: "Detroit's state-of-the-art airport blew our readers away this year for a variety of reasons—fine restaurants, extensive shopping options, cleanliness, efficiency. But it's the major, futuristic touches—like the ExpressTram, an automated train painted cherry red, that carries passengers along a stretch of Edward H. McNamara terminal (a helpful touch considering this is the world's second-longest airport concourse)—that put DTW on the list this year. At the center of that same terminal sits a 39-foot-wide fountain that shoots water in sporadic arcs and darts, inspired by the lines of a flight map," Conde Nast Traveler said.
