How we score this

Places are ranked by Nomadr’s getting there and away score. It counts the distinct airlines and rail, ferry and day-trip destinations named in our research for each place. That count is compared with every other place we cover: the more that are named, the higher the percentile, and that percentile is shown as a score from 1 to 10. The score reflects how many connections our research names, not journey times or fares. Places we hold no count for are left out rather than ranked last.
