"Flying is a pretty hungry business. When you've already spent lots of time on a plane, or driving to the airport, or navigating public transport, all while you're bogged down with luggage and (often) stressed-out co-travelers, the first thing you want when you get to the airport is food - lots and lots of food. Let's be honest, some airports in the U.S. do not have the best reputation for dining."
"Georgia's Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport is one of the busiest international airports in the world. In 2024 alone, it processed more than 108 million passengers. That's a heck of a lot of people. Specifically, it's a heck of a lot of hungry people. So it's a good thing that Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport is also one of the best airports in the U.S. for food."
Air travel creates strong demand for airport dining options, with some U.S. airports earning poor reputations while others excel.
