Here are America's happiest airports


No one wants to be stuck in an airport on a layover, but let's face it: Some airports are definitely better to spend time at than others. And thanks to a new survey from travel-dating site MissTravel.com, you might get a few tips on which airports will give you the most comfortable travel experience.
MissTravel surveyed 50,000 travelers and discovered that Portland, Oregon, is home to America’s "happiest" airport. The merits that make PDX the top layover stop include free Wi-Fi, fun shops, and food and drink offerings from local food carts and breweries. Savannah, Georgia's airport (SAV) earned a second-place ranking, followed by San Francisco (SFO), West Palm Beach (PBI), and Philadelphia (PHL).
