Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has been voted the best US airport for dining, amenities and business traveller services at the Travel Leaders Group’s annual Travel Trends Survey. It also came first in the list of the best places for passengers with a connecting flight.

Travel Leaders Group owners, managers and other travel experts throughout the USA were surveyed by the organisation and 40.5% ranked Hartsfield-Jackson as their best choice for connecting flights while 42.2% gave the facility top honours for business traveller services.

“Hartsfield-Jackson is more than a busy aviation hub. For many travellers, it’s a destination place to purchase a last-minute gift, enjoy a quiet meal, or simply unwind with select spa services before boarding their flight,” said Louis Miller, aviation general manager. “And, as the world’s busiest airport, we understand the importance of providing the best services for both business and leisure travellers.

“This distinction not only reflects our dedication toward meeting the needs of our passengers, but also symbolises our commitment to providing travellers with quality amenities and a memorable experience,” said Miller.

To further enhance the travel experience, Hartsfield-Jackson unveiled a new Thanks Again programme that allows consumers to earn frequent-flier miles for parking, shopping or dining at participating merchants at the facility. Airport officials also announced they are taking steps toward offering customers free wi-fi access as early as autumn 2013.
