In a speech on American infrastructure on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden said that compared to airports like Hong Kong, International, New York's LaGuardia feels like a "third world country."

In January, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called LaGuardia and JFK "inexcusable," and announced the state would take over responsibility for revamping both.

The awards, which include categories for best terminal, shopping, security, cleanliness, dining, and more, are determined by public opinion. More than 12 million people responded to this year's survey.
