COVER STORY: The move to upgrade U.S. airports | Watch Video
Consistently ranked the best in the world, Singapore's Changi Airport is one of the busiest, but the crowds aren't complaining about layovers when they have movie theaters, a rooftop pool and hot tub, even a butterfly garden. Yet in the United States, there isn't an airport within the Top 30 of the World's Best Airports, and the average airport is 40 years old. Kris Van Cleave looks at efforts to overhaul existing airports in such cities as Orlando, New Orleans, Chicago, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, and talks with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo about his ambitious, multi-billion-dollar effort to modernize New York City's notoriously antiquated LaGuardia Airport.
