Austin Airport Named Among Nation's Best

AUSTIN, TX — For a second year in a row, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has been named among the top 10 best airports in the U.S. by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler, officials revealed on Thursday.

More than 715,000 readers submitted their responses, rating their travel experiences across the globe, according to Condé Nast Traveler. Austin-Bergstrom earned 10th place on the list, and was the only Texas airport to win a Readers’ Choice award this year.

“The results of this year’s survey, conducted at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, are a testament to the lasting power of a meaningful travel experience,” Jesse Ashlock, U.S.
Editor of Condé Nast Traveler, said in a prepared statement. “The winners represent the best of the best for our audience and offer plenty of trip-planning inspiration for all the adventures we can’t wait to have next.”

The award cited Austin-Bergstrom’s easy navigation, live music and local Texas food as reasons readers listed the airport among the best.
