Check out the top 10 airports leading the way with lactation spaces for travelers
As air travel adapts to the needs of modern families, select airports are leading the way with more welcoming environments for breastfeeding and pumping parents. Mamava, the leading innovator of lactation spaces, has just released its 2024 rankings of the top airports for breastfeeding travelers, incuding Orlando International Airport which has been placed second in the country, just behind Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
While federal legislation, such as the Friendly Airports for Mothers Act, ensures that every US airport has a lactation space in every terminal, these ten airports go the extra mile with superior amenities and thoughtful, family-friendly touches.
"Congratulations to this year's top-ranking airports for their commitment to supporting breastfeeding and pumping parents," said Sascha Mayer, Co-founder and CEO of Mamava.
"These airports have truly set a new standard for comfort, convenience, and care in family travel. We're proud to recognize and celebrate their dedication to inclusivity and thoughtful design."
