New Database: Airport Performance Calculator & Other Airport/Aviation Data Resources

Airport Performance Calculator

Travelers this summer are likely to encounter the longest delays and most crowded planes in years. To gauge the misery—and help travelers steer around it—U.S. News has crunched several sets of government data to identify the airports and routes where fliers will feel the most pain. This flight calculator includes data on the 500 most popular domestic routes in the United States. For most of the departure and arrival cities, we’ve tabulated a number of factors that directly affect the kind of experience travelers will have on their journey. We’ve included on-time performance for flights originating at each airport, along with the average “load factor”—the percentage of seats filled on all flights leaving a given airport. We’ve also developed an exclusive Airport Misery Index that measures a combination of delays and crowded planes for 47 large airports and 53 regional airports. (Our rankings are like golf—the lower the number, the better.) And we’ve included the average airfare at each airport, so you can compare the cost of tickets across the nation.
