J.D. Power and Associates has released rankings of U.S. airports based on a survey of 12,000 travelers last year, and Detroit’s decision to mesmerize travelers with colored light really paid off. You can check out the list here and sort the airports by overall satisfaction or by factors like the quality of check-in or baggage claim.

It’s not like you can usually pick the airport to fly in or out of, but hey, maybe you can claim some bragging rights. Newark, LAX, and Miami were the bottom three.
