I suppose it depends on your definition of 'major', but if you can name more than 20 I'd be surprised. At least half of the states have at least 1 major intern

I suppose it depends on your definition of 'major', but if you can name more than 20 I'd be surprised.
At least half of the states have at least 1 major international airport, with some having 2 or more. For example, Hawaii has Honolulu, Florida has Orlando and Miami. Nevada has McCarran, etc.
My point us that the US has lots of international entrypoints, so each airport has to be less grand than say a Hong Kong or Singapore, where that is the only airport where you can enter. For them that single airport has to be a flagship, so they put hotels and butterfly gardens, etc. Phoenix Sky Harbor will never get anything like that, so it can never compete.

They can compete on basic competence and being able to efficiently and quickly allow people to get through it, and not being a total misery to have to wait in for a few hours when transiting. Singapore beats the crap out of US airports on that and also has a nice butterfly garden to look at. You could put a nice butterfly garden in JFK and JFK would still be a miserable, frustrating experience; nobody would even look at the butterfly garden because they'd burn all their time in just trying to get through the airport.
