Dataset of the Day: Holiday Travel Delays

I’m about to head home for Christmas and I’m flying out of DCA in Washington, DC. I love this airport because its close by and easy to get to by Metro. Since I am currently without a four-wheeled means of transport, the Metro is my friend, as is Reagan National Airport. I’m flying home to Cleveland, OH and have been checking the Federal Aviation Administration’s website to see if there are delays out of DCA and my connecting airport in Philadelphia. With the recent snow storm on the east coast there were some travel advisories and many holiday travelers experienced the awful mess that snow can produce when flying home this time of year. I decided to upload the most recent flight delay information by US Airport into Finder! and embed the map in my blog so you could check if your airport is experiencing delays. Since the snow has stopped it appears as though most airports are functioning at normal levels again, but it’s always wise to double check, especially if you are flying into Chicago or another midwest airport that typically gets nailed with a lot of bad weather around Christmas.

Happy Holidays and Safe Travels to Everyone!
