StressFreeCarRental.com has compiled a list of Europe’s most stressful airports, which can easily overwhelm travelers.

While flights are often the quickest way to get to a vacation destination, navigating long lines and trying not to get lost can make a trip to the airport stressful.

John Charnock, CEO of StressFreeCarRental.com, advised tourists planning a trip that selecting the right airport can help them relax from the start.

He explained: “For those heading to Europe this summer, it’s important that a long-haul flight and arrival at the airport isn’t a stressful experience that could make or break your vacation. There are certain airports in Europe which can make travelers feel more stressed than others – and the 2024 Stressful Airport Index has shown us which factors at certain destinations are worse than others.”

StressFreeCarRental.com discovered that the most stressful airport is Charles-de-Gaulle in France, based on factors such as passenger volume, parking fees, the number of destinations served, and distance from the nearest city.

Charles-de-Gaulle Airport, which opened in 1974 is Paris’ main international airport, with over 67.4 million passengers expected in 2023 alone.

The airport also has the most flight destinations on the list, with 270, and parking costs tourists an average of €100 (£86) per week.

John argued that, in many cases, the more popular an airport is, the more stressful it can be to visit, comparing Charles-de-Gaulle Airport to Zagreb Airport in Croatia.

He went on to say, “Charles-de-Gaulle Airport has been named the most stress-inducing, largely due to the high volumes of passengers traveling through, expensive car parking charges, and the high departure of delay scores. Out of the ten popular European airports that have been analyzed, Zagreb in Croatia has been named the least stress-inducing, with low passenger numbers, a close distance to the city center, and the lowest departure delay scores.”
