BEST AND WORST AIRLINES

From on-time performance to a TPG favorite — the frequent flyer program — there's a lot that factors into the overall air travel experience. Each year, we pore over data from a number of sources, to help you determine which US-based airline will offer the best bang for your buck.

This year’s highlights include:

  • Delta, with 92.7% of flights arriving on time
  • Hawaiian, with the fewest cancellations
  • Frontier, with the most involuntary bumps

Wondering how your own airline fared? Don’t miss this year’s full TPG report.
