| Avoid delays with the airline’s
HUB system |
In order to avoid delays with the airline’s HUB
system, use airport alternatives to the major HUBs. Some examples
are:
- MacCarthur Airport on Long Island or Westchester
County Airport in White Plains instead of New York;
- Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport instead of Miami;
- Midway Airport instead of Chicago O'Hare;
- Sacramento's Cameron Airport, Oakland Airport
or San Jose Airport instead San Francisco;
- London Gatwick airport instead of London Heathrow;
etc.
Note that, regardless of what the itinerary says, more than likely according to the
statistics, your flight will be delayed going through the major airports. Use alternate airports whenever
possible. Calculate driving time to an alternate airport as opposed to a possible 2-hours delay or more, using
HUB airports, and compare. And, if you need to go via a major HUB anyway and you are arriving late, locate the
terminal map in the front pocket and be familiar with the layout ahead of time!
