That isn&#8217;t always how it is when it comes to flying on an airplane. Flight delays are a recurring theme at many large-scale airports around the country. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the worst USA airports, ranked by delays.<\/p>\n<p>A Reddit user, u\/divergentdata, recently put together a video detailing the worst airports for delays. This information was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/dataisbeautiful\/comments\/8q9cwq\/worst_and_best_us_airports_by_the_numbers_oc\/\">shared on Reddit and many other Reddit users commented in the thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Total Versus Percentage<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to understand the difference between total delays in an airport and total delays by the number of flights that transit an airport. Reddit user u\/uddermann summed it up nicely. The total delays in order are &#8220;1. Ohare 2. Hartfield Atlanta 3. San Francisco 4. Dallas 5. Los Angeles 6. Newark Liberty 7. Philadelphia 8. Charlotte Douglas 9. LA Guardia 10. JFK&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>U\/uddermann also chimed in on the top ten delays by transit percentage. They are &#8220;1. Memphis 2. Palm Beach 3. Dallas Love Field 4. Chicago Midway 5. Philadelphia 6. Bob Hope 7. Richmond 8. Baltimore\/Washington 9. LA Guardia 10. Southwest Florida 11. Ronald Regan&#8221;. What this means is that, even though airports such as Memphis or Palm Beach aren&#8217;t large, they still have a large amount of delays flights, percentage-wise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FlightDelaysByPercent-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1287\" src=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FlightDelaysByPercent-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1265\" height=\"693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FlightDelaysByPercent-1.jpg 1265w, https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FlightDelaysByPercent-1-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FlightDelaysByPercent-1-768x421.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/FlightDelaysByPercent-1-1024x561.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1265px) 100vw, 1265px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Airport Stories<\/h2>\n<p>Many Reddit users expressed frustration about traveling through some of the airports shown above. U\/yeerk_slayer says &#8220;Chicago Suburbian here. I can confirm that almost all of my flights leaving O&#8217;Hare are delayed for one reason or another. But then again, we do have some pretty sporadic weather.&#8221; I have flown to and from Chicago in the past and can personally confirm that there are plenty of delays at O&#8217;Hare and Midway.<\/p>\n<p>Minneapolis didn&#8217;t make the list. U\/JMoc1 might be able to shed some light on that. He says &#8220;Minneapolis has the best clearing crews in the US. In fact, MSP is actually the training ground for all clearing crews and plowing services in the US&#8221;. U\/JMoc1 is referring to clearing crews cleaning snow at the airport. Minneapolis is up north and gets quite a bit of snow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/chicagoweather.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1279 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/chicagoweather.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"742\" height=\"73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/chicagoweather.jpg 742w, https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/chicagoweather-300x30.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Looking on the Bright Side<\/h2>\n<p>Although the main focus of the tread is airport delays, some Reddit users tried to see airports in a more positive light. For example, Reddit user u\/Valiuncy said &#8220;if there\u2019s one thing I like about Indianapolis, it\u2019s our perfect airport. It\u2019s so easy, clean, never too crowded, looks nice, and is everything an airport should be&#8221;. U\/jrm20070 replied saying there&#8217;s &#8220;almost never a security delay [in Indianapolis]. I walk straight through without a line nearly every single time. I definitely take the airport for granted&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/jrm20070.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1280 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/jrm20070.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"763\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/jrm20070.jpg 763w, https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/jrm20070-300x31.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Rumors on Causes for Delay<\/h2>\n<p>Constant delays in some airports have created some rumors in commentators. For example, u\/raxitron said: &#8220;I think Memphis is the highest % delayed because it&#8217;s a hub for FedEx and their planes get priority over the small number of passenger flights&#8221;. Comments like these are only hearsay; however, one has to wonder if there is a link between commercial flights causing passenger flights to be delayed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/raxitron.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1281 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/raxitron.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"765\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/raxitron.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.rpsrelocation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/raxitron-300x31.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Featured Photo by Harry Knight on Unsplash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worst and best US airports by the numbers [OC] from dataisbeautiful When you pay for a service you expect a seamless experience.
