WASHINGTON, D.C. (7News) — Travelers who are looking to book last-minute flights for Memorial Day weekend may want to think twice about flying out of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).

The air passenger rights company, AirHelp, took a closer look at U.S. airports and collected data on which ones had the most and least flight disruptions in April.

It may or may not come as a surprise, but DCA ranked number five for the worst airports. Here's a breakdown.

Philadelphia International Airport – 20.9% of flights disrupted O’Hare International Airport – 21.1% of flights disrupted New York LaGuardia Airport – 21.7% of flights of disrupted Miami International Airport – 22.2% of flights disrupted Ronald Reagan National Airport – 23.2% of flights disrupted Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport – 23.8% of flights disrupted Charlotte Douglas International Airport – 24.1% of flights disrupted Denver International Airport – 25.8% of flights disrupted Newark Liberty International Airport – 26.7% of flights disrupted Dallas/Ft.

Palm Beach International is about as good as airports get. Avoid FTL and MIA and fly to PBI and rent a car. You’ll thank me later.

Can’t they just ground black female Army helicopter pilots for the weekend?

Helicopters keep hogging the airspace. They are usually unscheduled and can cause much excitement in the control tower.

The female pilot of the Blackhawk that collided with the Jet was White.

You can argue that white females benefited the most out from DEI.

It is a dangerous airport located too close to population centers. Should have been closed decades ago. The only reason it hasn’t been is for the traveling convenience of government officials.

She was white and incompetent. She was flying under the ILS (insturment landing system) at an assigned altitude and she broke the altitude limit. Her speed would probably been about 110 knots and the aircraft on approach about 140 knots. In effect she was flying below a shooting gallery and broke height restrictions and everybody died.
