With all the doom and gloom lately about airlines, here’s a gem of good news: on-time US flights this past April were higher than the same month last year, according to the Air Travel Consumer Report.
But more good news:
- The rates of flight cancellations were down.
- Mishandled baggage also declined during the same periods.
- Complaints about airline service were down.
- And even complaints about pets dwindled.
Regarding the later: In April, carriers reported three incidents involving pets while traveling by air, down from five incidents in March. All three incidents in April involved pet deaths.
