Airports With the Worst Delays Are Not in Louisiana

I know so many people who have some really great summer trips planned. I'll be going on an amazing trip this summer and I sure hope the backlog at airports is cleared up before the busy travel season.

Airhelp.com has recently issued a report on the best and worst airports for flight delays. It's called the AirHelp’s Disruption Report. It's nice to see no Louisiana airports on the naughty list.
