Putting that in stark relief is a ranking from travel-finance site Upgraded Points, “The Best U.S. Airports for a Boozy Layover,” which gives top billing to the East Coast and trashes the Bay Area’s Oakland airport.
The ranking is based on three factors: concentration of bars and restaurants, accessibility (number of venues per 10,000 passengers) and quality (as based on Google-review stars). With those metrics underpinning this highly scientific assessment, Upgraded Points has determined the winner to be Logan International Airport in Boston.
Of course, it’s no surprise that Boston has a thing with booze. What might be surprising is that the Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport ranked as one of the worst airports, coming in at 49 on a list of 50. The site says it “struggles with accessibility and quality, offering fewer high-rated bars than other California airports, plus minimal restaurant overlap for those looking to pair food with drinks.”
