Most and least popular airports, according to Twitter

Business travellers often share positive and negative experiences on social media, especially about airports. Some they love, some they hate. Mashable.com asked Crimson Hexagon to analyse more than 3 million tweets about US airports over the past year and make a list of the most and least popular airports. The outcome is that Orlando International gets most positive tweets, Philadelphia International gets most negative tweets.

Some airports invest millions in lounges and other facilities, others seem to have other priorities.

1. Orlando International, Florida (MCO)
2. Salt Lake City, Utah (SLC)
3. Miami International, Florida (MIA)
4. Minneapolis-St. Paul International, Minnesota (MSP)
5. Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas (DFW)

This is the list of the airports that received the highest numbers of negative tweets:
