Ben Gurion ranked 6th best airport in world

Israel’s Ben Gurion is ranked sixth in a new list of international airports.

The airport, based just outside Tel Aviv and named for Israel’s first prime minister, scores 78 out of 100 in the ranking by Travel+Leisure online magazine.

“These airports have a history of incorporating smart tech to make the lives of travelers easier, as well as staggering architecture that helps the airport seem like a destination in its own right,” writes the magazine.

The top-rated hub is Singapore’s Changi Airport, which boasts a butterfly garden with a waterfall, a host of exotic flowers and even a rooftop pool.
