Locations in this article:  Chicago, IL Dallas, TX Minneapolis, MN

Want to know which airline routes are the most delayed in America? Every month, the U.S. Department of Transportation releases figures on flight delays by airline, airport, and, most importantly, by route.

For example, Continental’s flight 1191 between Boston and Newark arrived late 95 percent of the time.

You might want to avoid American’s flight 2361 from Chicago to Dallas. That flight was delayed more than 96 percent of the time.

And, don’t even think about flying Comair flight 5292 from Minneapolis to JFK. That flight scored a perfect 100 percent!

That’s right, it was always delayed.

To keep up with the latest statistics on flight delays, along with baggage delay figures and to find out what passengers are complaining about, get that monthly travel report by logging onto airconsumer.ost.gov/reports.
