2 New York airports now have the only 5-star terminals in North America — just 5 years after JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark were ranked the worst in the US

• Newark, LaGuardia, and JFK were ranked as the country's worst airports back in 2018.
• A $30 billion plan to upgrade the major New York and New Jersey airports has turned things around.
• Newark and LaGuardia have terminals ranked five stars by Skytrax, while construction is underway at JFK.

Two New York City-area airports are the only ones in North America with terminals rated five stars by Skytrax — and all it took was billions of dollars.
