Editor\u2019s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last year, an average of over one in five flights were delayed, and about 2% were canceled. While that means most flights went out on time, millions and millions of travelers still found themselves not flying when they hoped.<\/p>\n

Another busy travel season is upon us. When flight delays and cancellations do happen, there may not be a ton of additional seats available to simply hop on the next flight in some situations.<\/p>\n

Here are tips on how to decrease your chances of getting stuck and increase your chances of arriving at your destination as quickly as possible, even if you get the unwelcome news that you are facing a flight delay \u2014 or worse.<\/p>\n

How to find out if your flight might be delayed<\/h2>\n

In the current era of full flights and easily available information, don’t wait for the airline to tell you there is a problem.<\/p>\n

You can keep an eye on general flight trends across the country on FlightAware<\/a>, which gives you a good overview of how a day in the sky looks.<\/p>\n

This page focuses on delays<\/a>. Manually check the status of your flight on your airline’s website in the 24 hours leading up to travel. Also, check where the plane is coming from, if possible.<\/p>\n
