Nothing aggravates a lot of airline passengers more than flight delays and cancellations. If a new study is an accurate indicator, Dallas-Fort Worth is home to some super-aggravated travelers.

Dragged down by flight delay and cancellation rates, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport ranks as the most stressful airport in a study by Rightway Parking of 55 major U.S. airports. Rightway helps travelers find parking at airports, cruise ports, and events.

Using U.S. Bureau of Transportation statistics and Google Maps data, the study gave equal weight to five factors: 2025 flight delay and cancellation rates, change in delay rates between 2021 and 2025, and driving distance and time between an airport and downtown.

DFW had the highest rate of flight delays, 27.86 percent, and the third-highest rate of flight cancellations, 2.76 percent, making it the only airport in the top three for both measures.
