How the ranking was built
This study ranks the best airports for food-loving travellers seeking to extend their layovers by analysing five metrics: airport Instagram posts, average Google rating of airport restaurants, average Tripadvisor rating of airport restaurants, average Yelp rating of airport restaurants, and the average number of Instagram posts for restaurants located inside the airport.
Only airports with complete data across all five metrics were included for consistency. Airport-level averages use the available rating data from the identified top restaurants, while individual restaurant rankings include only restaurants with complete rating data across all platforms.
