The World's Most Family-Friendly Airports and Airlines

Traveling with children can bring added challenges, especially in the event of unexpected flight delays or cancellations. The Family Vacation Guide recently examined on-time departure times and cancellation rates for 50 of the busiest airports in the world and analyzed other important factors for family-friendliness such as free access to Wi-Fi, the number of places to eat available and the number of things to do.

While three U.S. airports made the top 10, including Los Angeles, Orlando and Seattle, Asia and Europe dominate for the most part. The Family Vacation Guide also dove deeper into the 36 largest airlines around the world to determine the most family-friendly carriers. The research included factors such as seat comfort, family pre-boarding, kids meals and onboard entertainment. Although Hawaiian Airlines made the top 10, Asian airlines also dominated this top 10 for 2022.

As the world reopens and more families resume international travel, it's worth taking a look at the leading airports and airlines for family travel.
