Anyone who has passed through Washington Dulles International Airport knows it is a gigantic airport with multiple restaurants, bars, and shops-it is ranked first in The Points Guy's "amenities" category and also was the "Most Improved" airport from the 2016 rankings.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was voted the nation's best airport by the editors for the second time in a row.

The Points Guy editors write that Sky Harbor, "didn't come in first in any one category but made strong showings in nearly all of them, including being easily reached by car or bus, having cheap parking, negligible wait times at security compared to other airports and respectably low delay and cancellation rates (though it could use more lounges for its size)."
