Airlines have canceled more than 3,500 U.S. flights this weekend and delayed thousands more, citing weather in Florida and other issues.
FlightAware, a website that tracks flights, noted major disruptions at several Florida airports, including in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando, as well as Baltimore, New York and other airports around the country. JetBlue, Southwest, Alaska Airlines, Frontier, Spirit and American Airlines were most affected, according to FlightAware, with JetBlue and Spirit canceling one-third of Sunday’s scheduled flights. Local news reported storms in Florida on Saturday. Several airlines said Sunday that operations are returning to normal.

Storms in Florida? Bullsh!t ...
I’ve never had fun at an airport.
I had fun LEAVING the airport and vowing never to return.
Lack of fuel
Exactly. 🙂
I was dealing with delays and eventual cancelation with AA over the weekend. They also cited weather in Miami which is an interesting argument to attempt when my flight tracker showed all kinds of flights departing Miami and only a weak stormfront in the Florida strait.
“No fun at the airports.”
I haven’t been in an airport since shortly before I retired. That was more than five years ago. And I have absolutely no intention whatsoever to be in an airport ever again.
Sounds like it
Putin’s flight cancellations...
[fwiw, today was more normal, and right now at 6:30 PM, there are 128.]
My son’s 1:00 pm flight from Omaha to DC was bumped to 2:00 so we took him to the airport an hour late. About 20 minutes after we left, he texted us to tell us his flight got move to 5:00 p.m. Took off around 5:45. They had cancelled a couple Southwest flights but his did take off.
“Airlines have canceled more than 3,500 U.S. flights this weekend and delayed thousands more, citing weather in Florida and other issues.”
Bullsh*t!!
What are the people up to and why are they lying? And what did the government promise them to go along?
If this is true, and I give it more than 50/50 that it is, how they cover for their precious democrats.
“how they cover for their precious democrats.”

Yet, it’s Republicans who demand they be given as much perks and breaks as they want - because, business. Even they ultra-woke ones that support Dems. Bribes and special gifts work on both Dems and GOPers alike.
Lauderdale airport is about 10 miles from me.
Ah, when was this bad weather they speak of?
Out in the garden most of the weekend, I must have missed it
There was quarter sized hail in Miami yesterday.
That Putin sure does get around. If Putin didn’t do it then it has to be Trump’s fault.
If it is weather, the airlines don’t have to pay for the forced layover if it goes over night.
So no matter what, if there is a lot of cancelations it is weather. A reason I always pack a few days worth of extra clothes.
