If you've traveled enough, you know how much an airport can make or break your travel experience. It is the first and last place you'll be at for every trip, after all. The J.D. Power 2016 North America Airport Satisfaction Study was based on the responses of nearly 40,000 participants who looked at the following categories: terminal facilities, airport accessibility, security check, baggage claim, check-in/baggage check, food, beverage, and retail. Among that list, we highlighted the top 10 airports across the US and Canada. Can you guess which snagged the number one spot?
