Arrival Time Pretty Fly

Arrival Time Pretty Fly

 Flying was a little less annoying at the start of the year 2012. The largest U.S airlines had their best first-quarter on-time arrival rate since data on flight delays was first collected in 1995.
 The reason: a warmer-than-usual winter that resulted in fewer tarmac delays, according to the Department of Transportation.
