Lists & Rankings -- The world’s top ten airport web sites

The world’s top ten airport web sites

When they travel by air, many people look for the best fare online, book their tickets, and then blithely set off on their trips without thinking about doing any web research on the airports they are leaving from and the airports they are flying to.

Until recently, yours truly was one of these great non-researchers. On the few times in the distant past that I'd bothered to look at airport web sites, they always appeared clunky to me and not very useful. But airport Web sites, if they’re good ones, should be your first stop before leaving for the airport. Is the long term parking lot under construction? Might public transportation be a better option than driving? Have they plowed the runways? How far is the walk to the gate? And where’s the nearest coffee stop?

Across the board, in the United States and throughout the rest of the world, most leading airports now have web sites that are founts of useful information flight schedules and flight delays, services, shopping and dining, parking and ground transportation options and other services. They usually show you the latest local weather conditions, too.

We've looked at dozens of airport web sites in the last few weeks and we've selected ten favorites– five in the US and five internationally –based on ease of navigation, design quality, and richness of content. But it's only fair to say there are many more airports out there that have good web sites.

Top five US web sites

  1. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport
  2. Chicago O'Hare International Airport
  3. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
  4. Denver International Airport
  5. San Francisco International Airport

Top five international airport sites

  1. Copenhagen Airports
  2. Frankfurt Airport City
  3. London Heathrow International Airport
  4. Singapore Changi Airport
  5. Tokyo Narita International Airport

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
