A recent survey showed that most restaurants at 75 percent of the nation’s busiest airports offer at least one healthy, veg-focused dish. This year’s healthiest airport, surprisingly, wasn’t [highly ranked](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-best-airports-2013 "undefined") Portland International, or even body-conscious Tampa or star chef-studded JFK in New York. Instead, it was [Baltimore/Washington International Airport](http://www.travelpulse.com/news/airlines/bwi-takes-the-crown-for-nations-healthiest-airport-food.html "undefined") that took the top spot for its vegetable and hummus plates, gluten-free quinoa pasta, and locally sourced vegetable salads, just to name a few. Nearly all the restaurants in BWI offer at least one healthy, plant-based entrée. Sure, you have to pass by Potbelly Sandwich and hand-shaken margaritas at Zona Cocina, but the selection of healthful options and nutrition-minded eateries (low-fat frozen yogurt at Tasti D’Lite; Nature’s Kitchen Fresh Café) have given BWI something to brag about. _This_ [_article_](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-blog/carry-on/topic/news/baltimorewashington-bwi-is-americas-healthiest-airport?xid=PS%5Ftime "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_Travel + Leisure_](http://www.travelandleisure.com "undefined")_._ _More from Travel + Leisure:_ * [Destination Spas to Jump-Start Your Year](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/destination-spas-to-jump-start-your-year?xid=PS%5Ftime "undefined") * [Coolest Airline Amenity Kits](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/coolest-airline-amenity-kits?xid=PS%5Ftime "undefined") * [Europe’s Best Winter Getaways](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/europes-best-winter-getaways?xid=PS%5Ftime "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3678630/americas-healthiest-airport/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3678630/americas-healthiest-airport/"},"headline":"This is America's Healthiest Airport","datePublished":"2015-01-26T20:12:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:38.514Z","description":"Nearly all the restaurants in this airport offer at least one healthy, plant-based entrée","url":"https://time.com/3678630/americas-healthiest-airport/","keywords":["Living","Travel","Air travel","Airports","Airport","baltimore"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8455684bd52efbe6/69877bb13c16394d3c4515b9/bwi-healthiest-airport.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melanie Lieberman / Travel + Leisure"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8455684bd52efbe6/69877bb13c16394d3c4515b9/bwi-healthiest-airport.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"bwi-healthiest-airport","caption":"bwi-healthiest-airport","creditText":"iStockphoto","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3678630/americas-healthiest-airport/","name":"This is America's Healthiest Airport"}}]}] ```
