For a traveler to breeze through any major airport, plenty of stars have to align. Security waits need to be short, terminals easy to navigate, intra-airport transportation abundant and flights punctual. While some fastest-airport lists focus on a single element — say, on-time departure records — we decided to highlight airports that performed well across categories. To do that, we've compiled data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, averaged real-time crowdsourced security wait times, and compared expedited-screening options and airport layouts to come up with this list of the country's 10 speediest major airports. | By Christine Sarkis, SmarterTravel
