Airport is the best airport in America, according to a new Wall Street Journal study.

The rankings looked at the 20 biggest airports, rated them on categories including security-line wait times, long walks, and Wi-Fi speed. Orlando and Phoenix international airports round out the top three best. The worst: all of metro New York’s airports, with Newark International at absolute bottom, below New York’s Kennedy (19) and LaGuardia (18). New York’s JFK also had the highest average price of any city for a trip to the main convention center, at $67 for an Uber X ride. Las Vegas was the cheapest airport in the U.S. to fly out of, with average fares of $242.
