Location,location, location. Duh! Ain't gonna change. So a trip across the country might take a couple extra hours--got the Pelosi syndrome huh!!
BWI has been rehabbing and resurfacing its runways for the past 18 months. The work is about complete. I wonder how much this work on the two main runways effects the amount of delays. The airports main carrier is Southwest for which many of the delayed flights start well before the aircraft arrive at BWI.
I ride on 80 - 90 segments each year and my advice is to fly early, even stay an extra day to take the 1st flight and avoid most of those airports since all but Chicago has alternates. Using this method, I have only been delayed for thunderstorm on the field and plane breakdown in the past several years.
Only thing that surprised me is that DCA is not on the list...
The Swiss are known for their long history of accurate timepieces, but the Germans know how to use them. At most German airports if the schedule says 2:32, the plane backs up at 2:32.
Good for them. But I'm pretty sure that airport delays are not caused by a failure to tell time.
