With aircraft maintenance issues and weather problems, we’re used to hearing about mass flight delays at this point. But there are some flights out there that just seem to be chronically late even when conditions are normal.

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at which flights are almost guaranteed to be late. Is there a particular airline that comes up short time and time again, or is it a specific airport that feels the brunt of delays?

Keep reading to see the five most consistently delayed flights from the 4th quarter of last year…

The question everyone wants to know the answer to, is the subject of my latest, weekly column for ABCNews.com.

This is a column that’s loaded with tips and tricks, and some good old-fashioned advice.

Plus, I bust some common (and erroneous) myths along the way. Check it all out, simply by clicking here.

Are You a Day Trader and Don’t Know It?

Does the promise of a few precious days of R&R have you waking up and checking airline ticket websites morning, noon, and night? And then checking them some more? Market research shows this is exactly what you do, and that most of us shop four to six websites at a time, over several days. All in the search for that increasingly elusive “super cheap” airfare deal.

The reason? Trust. Wait, maybe I should say, lack of trust.

You see, shoppers have noticed that price quotes don’t always match what is actually available, even on the same airline site, on the same day; so it’s hard to trust that the price you’ve been quoted is the best deal. Your instincts say, buy now but…you might be sorry later. Who’s looking out for you? Keep reading, and find out!

Oil prices continue to rise through the stratosphere, so we should all be prepared to see the legacy airlines initiate a new round of flight cutbacks (capacity cutbacks) and, see slower growth in the lower cost carriers.

The airlines don’t have much choice.

This past week, several airlines came out with February numbers, and revenue was “up”. Of course, you might expect that after 4 “sticky” increases this year and 17 “sticky” increases last year (price increases that have lasted, or “stuck”). Somewhat surprisingly, air travel demand was still firm.

However, there’s a lot of “gloom and doom” out there. I just don’t happen to buy into all of it (yes, you can still find deals — keep reading).

Did you know that, according to government statistics, there were more than 17-million people enrolled in college in 2006?

And, a lot of them will soon be graduating!

Now sitting through graduation speeches is not a lot of peoples’ idea of fun, but if you’re invited to the ceremony, we can at least ease the pain of expensive airfare…if you use My Trips.

Let me explain.

Let me put on my myth-busting hat: I just saw this AP article in The San Jose Mercury News, called “When is the best time to book airfare?”

Good question; bad answer. According to the article, late Thursday is the best time to check. WRONG.

The article goes on to quotea source as saying “Our experience with airlines has shown us that they update available seats around 12 a.m. Eastern time every day.” WRONG AGAIN.

So when IS the best time to book? Click “more” to find out…
