Best and Worst Travel Cities

The holiday travel season is just around the corner and a new survey shows more flight delays could be on the horizon.

The holiday travel season is just around the corner and a new survey shows more flight delays could be on the horizon.

A new report out Thursday from the Brookings Institution ranks the best and worst metro areas for air travel performance.

They found that pretty consistently across the board air travel is concentrated at about 26 metropolitan hubs.

"Now, of those many of them experience worse delays and it's many of the places most people travel New york, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, these places experience worse than national average delays when it comes to arrivals and departures," says Adie Tomer, Brookings Institution.

Officials from Brookings also said they were surprised to see one of the best places was metropolitan Los Angeles.

They say this is partly due to the great weather and distant connections from some of its geographic partners on the west coast and it actually does great with on-time performance.
