Book prudently. These days, delays and long security lines are the norm. “Avoid loser flights” by checking their on-time performance at Flightstats.com. Make sure you can reserve a seat when you book, and confirm it by printing a boarding pass ASAP.
Anticipate trouble. Find out how likely a delay will become a cancellation by asking how much “duty time” the pilots have left; the more, the better. Keep a list of hotels handy in case a connection is missed. And don’t check any luggage you “can’t do without.”
