World’s most stressful airports revealed
In a year of cancelled flights, lost luggage and indefinite delays with air travel around the world, it's fair to say a lot of travellers have spent some stressful times in airports.
As a result of this year of travel chaos, holiday rental group Hawaiian Islands have analysed over 1,500 Google reviews for over 500 airports to name and shame the most stressful airports in the world.
Unsurprisingly to most, Sydney Airport did not skate by unscathed, with Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport coming in second on the list of stressful airports in the Asia and Oceania region, only being beaten by Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Vietnam.
According to data from FlightAware compiled by CNN Travel, 34.2 percent of flights scheduled between May 26 and July 19, 2022, at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport were delayed – the ninth most of any airport in the world.
Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane airports were also all in the top 10.
Elsewhere in the world, nine of the 10 most stressful airports overall were in Europe, with four of them in the UK alone.
The most stressful airport in the world went to the UK’s Manchester Airport, with over 82 percent of reviews indicating an anxious time.
The top two most stressful airports in the US went to East Coast states, with Albany International (New York) topping the list, and Newark Liberty International (New Jersey) coming in a close second place.
