Currently delayed at LGA, going on 7 hours. Why, when flights are all going to the same city (where weather has previously delayed everyone), do they not catch up and leave in the order of their original departure times? I know flights are coming in from different cities, but literally every other flight going to my city (DFW) has now left except us. In a route with many flights per day, seems like this could be more balanced?

It’s a combination of factors, really. Weather, air traffic control, crew availability, and the specific airline’s scheduling all play a part. Some flights might get priority because they connect to international flights or have more passengers with tight connections. Plus, once a delay snowball starts, it’s tough to stop. Hopefully, you get out of there soon!
