Bay Area travelers could have dramatically different travel experiences depending which airport they travel through.
As the unofficial end of summer quickly approaches millions of people are expected to fill U.S. airports and highways over the long Labor Day weekend, and many Bay Area travelers are rightfully concerned about long lines, flight delays, and crushing traffic on scorching hot freeways.
But even SFO travelers should brace for delays amid a chaotic summer travel season that has witnessed increasing airport mayhem. Flight delays in August ranged from 17% of flights at SFO to 24% at SJC and 26% at OAK, according to Hopper. Around 5% to 7% of flights at each airport were delayed for over an hour.
Airlines have been under intense scrutiny amid mounting delays and passenger complaints. On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Transportation released ashowing major airlines’ policies on free rebookings, complimentary hotels, and other amenities in case of a “controllable delay,” which does not include weather delays.
