Planning Your Trip

If possible, we suggest avoiding flying through Chicago, which is often the most vulnerable to a variety of delays. Flights from Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, St. Louis, or Minneapolis tend to be less frequently delayed than those routed through Chicago. (source: Bureau of Transportation statistics).
