Airports with largest delays

This comes at a time when airlines across the country continue to grapple with delays amid lower staffing levels.

A new study by Luxury France Tours revealed the U.S. airports where passengers need to arrive early to avoid trip disruptions.

Topping the list was George Bush Intercontinental Houston (IAH) due to its massive size, heavy passenger traffic, and a high number of delayed flights.

John F. Kennedy International (JFK) ranked second due to its complexity, TSA wait times, and passenger volume.

Orlando International Airport (MCO), Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), and Chicago O'Hare International (ORD) rounded out the top five due to long TSA wait times and passenger volumes.
