US airline flight delays are up again. So in what major airports are flyers most likely to be delayed?

Philadelphia, Las Vegas and Atlanta in October had the worst on-time departure performances among 31 major airports, according to the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Las Vegas and Philadelphia were nearly tied at 24% for most delays. Atlanta lagged only slightly behind at almost 22%.

Best on-time departures?

Houston, Bush, Tampa and Denver had 10% or less delays in all October flights.

For the entire year, however, Chicago O’Hare had the worst performance with more than 27% of its flights delayed.

Delays were up overall in October over the previous two months, said the US Department of Transportation.

Nineteen carriers reporting on-time performance recorded an overall ontime arrival rate of 81% in October, down from 83.9% the preceding month.
