It is a good thing I decided to stay home (or close to home) this Memorial Day weekend.
The media is reporting that hundreds of airline flights ae being canceled or delayed.
According to Business Insider:
Thousands of flight delays and cancelations are throwing a wrench in many passengers' travel plans this holiday weekend.
More than 4,500 flights from airlines around the world have been canceled since Friday. Airlines canceled 1,100 additional flights Sunday as of early afternoon, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. This follows 2,300 cancelations on Friday and 1,500 on Saturday, the Associated Press reported.
Of the flights canceled Sunday, more than 300 of those were flights within, into, or out of the US, FlightAware data shows.
Delta Chief Customer Experience Officer Allison Ausband said in the Saturday press release that there are several factors impacting the airline, including labor shortages, a rise in COVID-19 rates among staffers, and weather and air traffic control.
There's nothing like sitting around an airport waiting for a flight to become available. Been there, done that!
