The final U.S. airport category included the first 34 listed as “Small Hubs” by DOT data — with the cutoff being those that saw over 1 million passenger enplanements in 2019. The largest of these was Memphis (MEM), and the smallest was Greensboro, North Carolina (GSO) — and the winner was a clear reflection of 2021 travel trends.
Winner: Palm Springs International Airport (PSP)
This desert airport in Southern California was voted as the best small airport in the U.S. by TPG readers. With 11 airlines and more than 30 destinations, there are a variety of ways to reach PSP — and airlines added numerous flights to the airport during the pandemic. It’s situated just a few miles from downtown Palm Springs, serving as the gateway to the renowned Coachella music festival (which returns in April 2022 after a two-year hiatus) and the variety of points hotels in the area.
And in a year that saw renewed interest in outdoor activities, it serves as a perfect jumping-off point for Joshua Tree National Park.
