Whether you already have tickets or are planning a flight, it’s good to know which airports are the worst for delays and cancelations.
Between the erratic weather in the summer, labor shortages, and the switch to 5G, issues are bound to pop up.
So, to help passengers predict which airports are most likely to experience delays or cancellations this summer, InsureMyTrip researchers analyzed flight data for Q1 of 2023 from the Department of Transportation (DOT).
Here’s what the travel experts found:
Top 10 Airports with the Highest Percentage of Delays
