New Jersey travelers going to this airport have fewer delays

If you’re anything like me, you find air travel to be a royal pain in the you-know-what.

Between the car ride there, the long TSA lines, and the Hell of other people — I’m in a foul mood before I even board the plane.

Thankfully, one aspect of air travel that I haven’t dealt with in quite some time is obnoxious flight delays, and it turns out that may be because a certain New Jersey airport (and my go-to!) has one of the lowest percentages of delays in the country.

This is according to a study released by InsureMyTrip.com.

In order to come to this conclusion:

InsureMyTrip analyzed the latest flight cancellation data gathered by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) to gain a closer look at the impact of ongoing flight disruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors, on U.S. airports.

D’oh.
