It is incredible that people are traveling by air during this time of the omicron variant. Many travelers are facing flight cancellations as they try to return home from their Christmas holiday trips. Some are still even planning to travel over New Year's.
They should have their heads examined, to put it mildly.
According to TravelPulse, more flights are being cancelled:
Several hundred more flights have already been canceled so far this morning, Sunday, December 26, as Christmas weekend has turned into a nightmare for airlines and air travelers worldwide thanks to the Omicron variant.
More than 6,000 flights have been canceled since late Thursday, December 23, and more than 20,000 flights have been delayed, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware.com. As of 10 a.m. this morning, another 723 flights have already been canceled worldwide for tomorrow, Monday, December 27.
It’s a disaster of epic proportion for the airline industry, which had been enjoying a resurgence of passengers this year as they bounce back from the effects of the pandemic. The industry had strong Memorial Day, Summer, Labor Day and Thanksgiving travel numbers, and Christmas started the same way.
This is 100x worse than the hassle I had last July in getting home from Twin Falls, Idaho due to thunderstorms.
