Baltimore's Thurgood Marshall Airport may be ranked one of the best airports in the country, but just down I-95 is one of the worst.  According to Travel and Leisure, Washington's Dulles International Airport is ranked one of the worst airports in the U.S.

In it's first-ever airport survey, Travel and Leisure asked people to rate the top 22 American airports.  The airports were rated based on flight delays; design; amenities; food and drink; check-in and security; service; and transportation and location.

Dulles Airport ranked 7 out of the top 10 worst airports.  It ranked low for its location and baggage handling.  Survey takers also said there are long lines at check-in and security and the staff isn't overly helpful.  Dulles also lost marks on its cleanliness and design.

Here are the top 10 worst airports:

1.  New York (LaGuardia)

2.  Los Angeles

3.  Philadelphia

4.  New York (JKF)

5.  Newark

6.  Chicago O'Hare

7.  Washington Dulles

8.  Boston

9.  Houston

10.  Atlanta
