Here are a few interesting things that we can use for ourselves AND for story development thanks to Mindy McAdams.
McAdams wrote in her blog about a flight delay calculator the Las Vegas Sun put together. For any one flying into Vegas, the site is great.
But how about flying to loads of other places?
Thanks to the Sun, there are links for Department of Transportation and Department of Home Land Security for flight delays by airline and airport.
Here are the links for Reagan National and Dulles:
Dulles: http://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1
Reagan National: http://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1
Here are the statistic by airline: http://www.transtats.bts.gov/carriers.asp
And with less detail here is the DHS delay chart: http://waittime.tsa.dhs.gov/index.html
Enjoy.
