The “Breast” US Airports in 2024

Top 10 locations leading the way with lactation spaces for travelers

BURLINGTON, Vt., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ —  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.

We’re proud to recognize and celebrate their dedication to inclusivity and thoughtful design.”
