Another spotlight on one of our New York airports!

Forbes Travel Guide just released its list of ‘The World’s Best Airlines and Airports of 2026.’

LaGuardia Airport is continuing its reign as the top airport in the United States, specifically because of the new modern design and art curated by the nonprofit Public Art Fund and the Queens Museum.

Queens-based LGA is taking that title for the third year in a row, with its food offerings being highlighted this year, as it debuted Capital One Landing, a dining-centered lounge featuring fare from renowned chef José Andrés.

The Delta One Lounge at JFK Airport in Queens also nabbed the top spot in its category, noted for their gold-accented Art Deco bar, with nods to Radio City Music Hall, according to Forbes.

Additionally, Delta Airlines took the crown for Best U.S. Airline, flying more than 200 million passengers last year.
