What do you think about US airport service?

southwest-airlines1Are at the airport with sufficient time available to appear, only to discover that his flight was delayed and now is the time to kill. Worse, it has already mentioned the flight and is now stopped on the track. Where’s very likely to happen? You can not eliminate the delays, of course, but you can play the odds, some airports have better results than others (as some airlines, making it the best and worst airlines for on-time performance is). Just as we gathered each year, Travel + Leisure, statistics from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics flights longer than 15 minutes late (in this case on 1 April 2008 to March 31, 2009) and found the best and worst airports for on-time performance. There is some good news in general: the worst airport  increased the deficit by 3 percentage points. It was also the only airport to have delayed the 30 percent or more of its flights last year, broke four airports from 30 percent . This development means that while some airports to improve their performance over time, their classification can not be changed. Dallas dropped its flights delayed by a group of 6 percentage points, but remained the No. 4 position in the top 10 worst airports. And JFK, despite a reduction in the delay of 11 percentage points in the last 2 years, tied with Dallas for the element 4 #

Some of these airports will be no surprise: The sky over New York still congested, traffic backups at the three airports in the area. And in other places such as Atlanta and Chicago are the perpetrators of the list.

However, the lists of the best and the worst is that some newcomers this year. Philadelphia, on a list in 2007 or 2008, appeared in the top 10 worst airports (22 percent of flights were delayed). Orlando had sunny news from the list of the top 10 with only 18 percent of flights delayed (good news, of course, for the visitors to Disney World). Detroit also in the ranks of the elite, with 17 percent of its flights delayed. And of course, some airports have disappeared from the rolls. This is for Seattle, which was one of the top-10 in 2008, is a disaster. It is better news for Chicago Midway (MDW), which was 25 percent of the 10 worst in 2008. So check this list before you book your tickets, if you can fly from an alternate airport, like Midway are the chances better that you arrive at your destination on time. And these days, the time of arrival is the only thing the airlines do not require extra.
