The worst (and best) U.S. airports for flight disruptions

A company that helps passengers receive compensation for flight cancellations and delays, AirHelp, has come out with a ranking of U.S. airports most afflicted by disruptions in 2025.

It shows that New Jersey continues to earn its reputation as the travel wasteland of the East Coast, whereas — surprise! — California is doing pretty dang good.

Last year, 248 million U.S. passengers ran up against flight disruptions, according to AirHelp. These were concentrated most heavily at airports along the Eastern Seaboard.
