Recently, Mozio<\/a>, the \u201cworld-leading ground transportation aggregation company that connects 3,000+ transport providers with travelers and travel companies across 180 countries\u201d, has assembled a list of the country\u2019s most \u2013 and least stressful airports.<\/p>\n

\"\"Ready for your flight<\/p>\n

Mozio analyzed the 20 busiest airports in the U.S. by passenger traffic, taking numerous factors into account, including:<\/p>\n

How frequently flights are delayed
\nHow much it costs to park for a day
\nHow long it takes to reach the city center<\/p>\n

Using that data, the company says they have identified \u201cwhich airports make travel feel straightforward, and which can add stress to your trip\u201d using a normalized score out of 10 for each factor. Then they calculated a combined overall airport stress score.\u00a0 So, what did they find?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin with the nation\u2019s most stressful airport. It\u2019s\u2026 (DRUMROLL PLEASE)\u2026 Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare International Airport!<\/p>\n
