How the system works

This is a rough summer for travel. There is no doubt about it. However, dire predictions about people getting fed up with high costs and inconvenience don’t seem to be accurate. Despite soaring gas prices, people took to the roads for the Independence Day weekend. Even with delays and lost luggage, the number of people flying increases.

To understand the causes of travel difficulties, I read a lot of articles. This one discusses that the problems at JFK in New York are impacting travel at other airports as well. It does a good job of explaining the different factors that result in delays in the system.
