Americans are used to the notion that America is number one. Or at least very nearly so. But in two recent studies and polls, America has taken it in on the chin.

Skytrax' World Airport Survey is the gold standard of airport rankings as it comes directly from the feedback of 13 million airline passengers who were flying across the globe between May 2014 and January 2015.
