What is it ?
This dataset is a record of 3.5 Million+ US Domestic Flights from 1990 to 2009. It has been taken from OpenFlights website which have a huge database of different travelling mediums across the globe. I came across this dataset while I was preparing for a hackathon and thought it should on kaggle's dataset list.
What's in it ?
Here is some info about the attributes present in the dataset:
Origin_airport: Three letter airport code of the origin airport

Where did you get it ?
I would like to thank the original author of this dataset Jacob Perkins for putting such a good effort and collecting this data.
I will be updating this dataset for attributes that might reveal some more information about this dataset.
Thanks for stopping by.
Peace.
