Honolulu International Airport is ranked the fifth best U.S. airport, according to a new study by ThePointsGuy.com.

The study, which was released today, examined the 30 busiest U.S. airports and used data from the Federal Aviation Administration, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, J.D. Power, Google Maps, iFly.com and the airports’ official websites. Categories included flight delays, cancellations, average security wait times, distance from the city center, public transit options, bars/restaurants, lounges, Wi-Fi costs and parking rates.

Honolulu Airport also tied for the best on-time rate but had the sixth-fewest bars/restaurants per capita.
