Using data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, experts at Family Destinations Guide have come up with a ranking of the very worst airports for travel in the United States in 2022 and New York's John F. Kennedy Airport unsurprisingly made the list.

Another area hub, Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, also makes an appearance—actually landing at the number two spot.

The study mainly looked at statistics connected to flight delays and cancellations, which, let's be honest, are usually the primary source of anxiety when it comes to traveling.

Here is the 2022 ranking of worst airports for traveling:

1. Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida: 28.24% of flights delayed in 2022
2. Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey: 26.51% of flights delayed in 2022
3. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida: 26.1% of flights delayed in 2022
4. Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Florida: 25.48% of flights delayed in 2022
5. Miami International Airport  in Miami, Florida: 24.4% of flights delayed in 2022
6. Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada: 24.34% of flights delayed in 2022
7. Chicago Midway International Airport in Chicago, Illinois: 24.11% of flights delayed in 2022
8. John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, New York: 24.08% of flights delayed in 2022
9. Boston Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts: 23.33% of flights delayed in 2022
10. Baltimore/Washington International Airport in Baltimore, Maryland: 22.41% of flights delayed in 2022

Clearly, Floridians have it worst—with a total of four state airports making it to the top 10.

The outlet also looked at the airports with the fewest delays around the country by some considered to be the best hubs out there.
