Sylvia Porter outlines strategies to reduce airport delays and costs. She suggests flying to less congested airports such as Newark over LaGuardia, using Dulles instead of National, and choosing Midway over O'Hare. Travel outside peak hours, consider Saturday or Sunday departures, and use off-peak flights for bargains. Airport curbside check in and luggage size limits can speed up trips.
