Every year, Travel & Leisure magazine releases their survey results of the best and worst airports in America, and I thought now, right before the holidays, would be a great time to highlight these results. For most of you, if you plan on traveling during the next couple of weeks, I hope you have bought your tickets, but if not, here’s a guide to help you know what airports to avoid. As always, some Florida airports made the list. Can you guess which ones?

First of all, here’s a list of the Top 10 worst airports:

#10 (tie): Chicago-Midway with 25% of all flights delayed
#10 (tie): Atlanta
#8 (tie): JFK
#8 (tie): San Francisco
#6: Washington Dulles
#5: NY Laguardia
#4: Dallas/Fort Worth
#3: Miami
#2: Newark

and for the Top 10 Best Airports:
