Betting on Orlando
Hopper media recently put out projections for the number of passengers on Christmas from major airports and put out flight cancellation rates from November.
Multiplying the projected passengers by that cancellation rate creates a seemingly fair projection that makes Orlando’s Orlando International Airport (+350) the most likely airport to lead the country in missed flights.
Keep in mind, most of these flights came from two days of hurricane closing.
Projecting Missed Flights
- Orlando (Orlando Intl Airport) (+350): 85,639 Cancelled Flights
- Chicago (O’Hare Intl. Airport) (+225): 26,155 Cancelled Flights
- Denver (Denver intl. Airport) (+400): 12,226 Cancelled Flights
- Atlanta (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport) (+750): 10,437 Cancelled Flights
- New York (JFK Airport) (+300): 7,636 Cancelled Flights
Orlando International Airport is projected to have more than three times as missed flights as any other airport in the United States on Christmas, with bets on Orlando likely the best bets of the holidays at legal sports betting sites.
