You can no longer afford to go to the airport without an alternate plan in case weather, or an event, or lack of crews starts creating delays and cancellations. If your Boeing 757 gets cancelled and 250 passengers have to scramble to find new seats, you are going to quickly discover why airlines have become profitable again. They are called RJ jets or regional jets.

These 50 seat planes are cheap to run and very efficient for the airlines to fly and are usually full. If your final destination is served by mostly RJ’s, you may spend days trying to find an open seat.

That means you sleep and eat at some big airport for most of your planned trip. The airport becomes your Louisiana Superdome. You’re stuck. You will have to wait until the airlines and the system can work you in. You are boat-less in a sea of grumpy people.

Is there a better way?

The answer is a five part yes.

  1. Don’t fly during the last week of the month. That’s when pilots and cabin crews start to reach their maximum duty time. Your airplane may be at the gate and ready to go but there may not be any crew available to fly it. The result? Cancelled flight. Plan your trips earlier in the month to avoid that one....
