DFW was named No. 5 among the best airports overall, with IAH right behind it at No. 6. According to the survey, Dallas sees upwards of 70 million passengers a year, while Houston sees almost 41 million. What's more, both offer a ton of shops and eating options.

IAH also ranks in the Top 10 airports on the list with the fewest delays.

And DFW ranks in the Top 5 airports on the list for being the busiest.

Both rank very well when it comes to flights being on time. 75 percent of flights leaving DFW are on time. Just over 78 percent leave IAH on time, as well.

Both airports are frequently used as hubs for longer air travel, and plenty of Louisiana tavelers have had stops and layovers there. While Louisiana has several airports, including here in Lafayette, both DFW and IAH are large enough to be hubs connecting passengers to their final destinations.
