10 Best U.S. Airports to Get Stuck In

They say it is the journey that matters and not the destination, but even the most Zen of travelers can struggle to appreciate the part of the journey that involves never-ending security lines, delayed flights, and dreaded layover limbo—where you are not here but not yet there, either. Fortunately, more and more airports are understanding that the layover experience doesn’t have to feel like passenger purgatory and they are upping their amenities accordingly. Shopping, plentiful food options, art, free Wi-Fi (yay!), and relaxing amenities all make for an easier and, dare we say it, more enjoyable way to pass time between flights. Here are 10 of our favorite domestic airports with offerings to help you appreciate the journey—however prolonged it may be!—on the way to your destination.—Emily Wasserman
