This might not be the sort of list you want to see a few days before you have to join the holiday crowd heading back home after the new year… or maybe it is. I dunno. I guess it all depends on your luck. Are you heading to one of the good airports or one of the bad ones?
The following lists come from Travel + Leisure, and the rankings are based upon percentage of flights delayed.
For the first eight months of this year, one in four flights landed at least 15 minutes late and cancellations are en route to smashing the record set in 2000.
Sounds great right? If you’re ready to roll the dice, the 10 best and worst airports in America…
