The Essentials

Airports with Great Food Options

Not too long ago, there were two specific oxymorons when it came to travel — airline food and airport food.

But at least at the airport, times have changed.

It’s no longer a game of guessing the age of the mystery hot dog in the rotisserie as you’re walking to your gate.

Airports across the U.S. have upped their food game considerably.

There are great health food and Italian offerings.

Are you looking for great barbeque? The Austin-Bergstrom International Airport won’t disappoint. The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport now has great food, including good breakfast options.

The Portland International Airport has its own food cart section.

And John F. Kennedy International Airport has great local beer on tap and quality sushi.

At least if your flight is late, you can eat better.
