American Airlines flight 1659 from Newark Liberty International to Chicago has the dubious distinction of being the most chronically delayed of all flights in the U.S. You are pretty much guaranteed not to get to Chciago on time, in fact, it was at least 15 minutes late almost 85% of the time in the past year. On the days it was late it was usually about an hour and a half late, about the same amount of time the trip takes. It's not just American Airlines though, there are over 100 flights that are at least 15 minutes late 70% of the time. The New York Times has a great interactive graphic showing the offending flights - basically, you should avoid Newark like the plague.
