RHINEBECK, N.Y., April 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirportXP, a mobile insights platform from Phoenix Marketing International (http://phoenixmi.com/), which allows travelers to share their experience at the 250 busiest U.S. Airports, has today revealed the highest traveler-rated airports in the country.

For medium-sized hubs, Omaha's Eppley Field and Warwick, RI's Theodore Francis Green State scored the highest. Washington state's Bellingham International and Michigan's Gerald R. Ford International were the top-rated small airports.

The following rankings are based off of 170,000+ traveler responses, compiled from November 2015-February 2016.

"Many smaller airports outperform their larger counterparts on passenger satisfaction measures related to pre-security items (e.g., parking, checking-in) due to their ease," said Scott Ludwigsen, Executive Vice President, Travel Research Group, Phoenix Marketing International. "While many passengers prefer the post-security amenities (e.g., food and beverage, retail, lounges) larger airports offer for the variety."
