How did Altezza come up with this data?
To find out the best U.S. airports to get food, Altezza gave scores to these important restaurant categories:
- Average price per meal
- Average rating (of the restaurants)
- % of restaurants below three stars
- visitors per restaurant per month
Altezza notes,
Each category was assigned a score from one to five, with the highest score going to the lowest price per meal, the highest Google reviews rating, the lowest percentage of restaurants with a rating below three stars, and the fewest visitors per restaurant. In total, the maximum score is 20 points, with the lowest point total per airport representing the worst expected experience. Restaurants with fewer than 30 reviews were excluded from the average rating to ensure objective comparisons.
So next time you fly out of ATL, don’t worry about snacks… there are plenty of amazing options for your meal at the airport!
