Fly Early In The Day To Avoid Compounding Delays
Savvy travelers should book their flights as early as possible to avoid the ripple effect caused by delays at other airports. Flying early can also prevent you from having to stay the night.
Avoid the last return flight so you won’t risk having to spend the night, often without compensation for hotel and transportation.
To stay ahead of the game, research the average delay time for a particular flight, check the length of the lines at security checkpoints before you leave, and review airport statuses across the country.

Agree – people don’t realize that by 11am your plane may already have bounced around to three different cities before picking you up. Any delay like blocked gates, small mechanical problems, late crew – incrementally delays your flight.
Plus a 6am flight rarely has any security lines…
6am flights rock, since there are no waits in lines and you can show up 30 minutes before your domestic flight – if you’re into that kind of thing.
