Going to OGG, LIH, FLL, MCO, PBI?
Eager Americans are booking trips to national parks, northern beaches, great lakes, and other destinations closed during the winter.
According to research conducted by Airports AirHelp, some airports are likely to have problems with flight disruptions.
Based on “flight disruptions” from airports with 1,000+ flights in March 2023, Maui Kahului Airport (OGG) for the second month had delays and issues with 35.51% of all flights.
This was followed by Lihue Airport on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii had 35.18% of all flights disrupted in March.
This was followed by Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida (FLL) with 34.96% of flights disrupted.
Orlando International Airport (MCO): followed by 34.69% due to the increase in vacations to Disney World during Spring Break.
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI): 34.63% of flights disrupted
