Use this when airport transfer time matters but you still want real city scale. Lower values mean faster access to an airport, not broader route choice.
Each ranking is built only from source-backed values. Official, commercial and community sources are labelled separately.

FAQ
How are these rankings built?
Only source-backed values are used. Each row links its source, source type and observation date. Cities without a verified value are excluded.
Why is a ranking empty?
It will show once enough cities have a verified value for that indicator. Until then we show how many cities are already covered.
