They’ve got to be JFKidding.
John F. Kennedy Airport in Queens, New York was just named the most luxurious airport in the U.S., Travel & Leisure reported.
All Clear Travel Insurance released their findings about which airport was the most luxurious in the world in February. They ranked airports based on how many nearly 4 and 5-star hotels there are, how many designer stores there are and how many passenger lounges they have. The airports needed to have a minimum of 10 airport lounges to be in the running.
Airports were also judged on whether high-flying visitors could find a champagne or caviar bar, which is the epitome of luxury, according to those collecting the data.
JFK was ranked number one in the US but only ranks 11th globally. It lost out on rankings because it didn’t have many luxury airports early but it did have 22 airport lounges as well as 16 luxury stores. Food & Wine also ranked JFK in seventh place for airports with the best food in the world.
Food panelists recommend trying the Palm Bar & Grille in Terminal 4, which “brings New York steakhouse energy to the airport.” This is also a nod to the airport’s “luxury.”
