  • Price4Limo’s report showed Frontier as the most frequently delayed, with 21% of its flights leaving later than expected.
  • Leave on Saturday if possible, when 86% of flights make it out on time.
  • Consider delaying your return trip until Tuesday — Monday is the worst travel day for the weekend, with 21% of flights delayed.
