Is it just luck that my flights are normally on schedule?

QYou are constantly going on about delayed flights. But as a business traveller (mostly travelling on BA within the UK, with some journeys to Germany), I find planes are normally on time or even early. Am I just lucky?

A I am delighted to hear that you have had plenty of punctual flights. In contrast, my last four flights - all within Europe have not been so successful. The sequence goes: cancelled, an hour late, 10 minutes late, 40 minutes late.
