How to Find an On-time Flight
Be early to rise. At this time of year, thunderstorms tend to hit in late afternoon. Book flights for as early as 6 or 7AM because as a rule, later departures are more often delayed.
Don't fly direct. So-called direct flights aren't what they sound like, and are notorious for stopping en route. Nonstop flights are your best option.
Fly on Saturdays. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association often recommends Saturday as the "best day" to travel. For the best days to fly from 29 of the nation's largest airports, go to NATCA.
Switch airports. Try a city's regional airports. Last year, more flights left on time from Chicago's Midway than from O'Hare International. For "on-time statistics by flight, airline, or airport," consult Bureau of Transportation Statistics. |

What Are You Into?
How about geocaching?
Okay, now that I've heard of this hobby for the second time, I decided it was time to mention it in Les Communique. Gillian Kendall, in Curve magazine, says geocaching is "part treasure hunt, part global hide-and-seek. As addictive as crack but way less expensive, geocaching is something you can do with all your surplus time and energy. Warning: After three finds, you're hooked."
Wikipedia says, "Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value. Today, well over 800,000 geocaches are registered on various websites devoted to the pastime. Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica.

Books for the trip
Chosen by Karin Slaughter
Best-selling author of a series of acclaimed suspense novels whose latest book is titled "Fractured"
Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc
by Mark Twain
Twain's last published novel and, by his account, his best work. He was fascinated by this subject and investigated St. Joan's life for more than a decade before writing her story.
Gone With the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
People tend to forget that Mitchell won the Pulitzer for a reason. The Scarlett O'Hara who exists on the page is far more powerful and engaging than the one on screen.
Wuthering Heights
by Emily Bronte
Bronte's use of nonlinear story telling and flashback was a technical triumph compared with other novels of the day. When you think about the changes editor Maxwell Perkins made to the first draft of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, you wonder if he had Bronte in mind.
