More than 2,500 flights have been canceled and 3,000 delayed in the U.S. on New Year’s Day. The problems are due to both airline staff shortages from Covid and severe weather coast-to-coast.

#Travel #Holidays #Airlines
I went to the airport & things are normal the media is lying 🤥
Have no sympathy for these people.
Absolutely ZERO.
Sympathy -50
Why not?
Don’t
I love it.
Whomp. Whomp. That’s what you get lol
Remember to catch Omicron not Delta! No problem! Good luck!
Thank You !!
hopefully neither for the nurses’ sake
@Rose K I think the point is if you catch Omicron it won’t affect the nurses causes it’s milder no need for hospitalisation. You self medicate and in 2 – 3 days you’re good
2020 part 2 🤣🔥🤣🤣🔥🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
Washington county Ohio and Athens county Ohio have targeted me based off lies and gossip ruined my life stole my Freedom Ohio is locking up inoccent men and children for government grant money 💰 while Mike Dewine and Dave Yost rub elbows with dirty narisssstst like Greg black and moslsters protecters discussing is what it is injustice
I have names and proof of their lies fraud and crimes if the supreme Court will not stop what Ohio is doing we the people are going to get justice ⚔️
WHY I STAYED HOME THIS YEAR!!.LOL
Cathy blanchet?
I feel for you guys. I hope you make it home
Good. Could you keep those fools over there for two weeks? The place I work at is bursting at its seams from COVID patients.
Welcome to your new normal in these world 🌍. Happy New year gentile nations by TMH God. APTTMHY May The King 👑👑👑 Reign FOREVER ♾️♾️♾️.
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS????
You’ve got to hear this. “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts4:12 Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Love Y’all
Why should I believe you when the Torah, the Quran, the Bhagavad gita, the Vedas, and so many other “holy” books say the same thing?
They should have had secondary arrangements.
Guy has cancer, has chemo appointment but decided to travel. No sympathy for fools.
He may be on his last stretch of time, doing what he wants to do…..Live a little. Christ dude.
He might be in stage 4 and wants to live out his last days to the fullest. I thought liberals had good hearts?
@William Jones liberals?
You can hide the truth and lie thats fine we’ll have justice 🗡️ one way or another
There’s staff shortages in the airline industry along with every other industry at this time because of JAB MANDATES, not because the CDC laxed quarantine restrictions slightly. Try telling the truth for a change
Not surprised…
Glad I kept my butt home for these holidays.
I am glad I didn’t travel this New Year’s. Sorry, I plan to travel in warmer months only.
You were warned not to travel because of high covid infections and weather conditions, no sympathy for fools !
Beautiful
Haha, i love seeing all the angry scared people thats been cowering in the living room for 2 years, glad people still living life are having trouble. meanwhile, a new jab every 3 months, PCR tests dont work, and the vax are getting sick with heart trouble. what a time to be alive.
💋💋💋welcome to china propaganda 2022 yeahey go go go im exited💋💋💋💋
Don’t worry you’ll get sick and so will everyone you know all at once and you won’t die and it’ll be mild but you’ll still call it bs because you’re brainwashed and not smart…
You’re not very bright… the illness is real and people are getting sick. This is the first time though I will say that the illness is extremely visible… at least after this there will be herd immunity and it’ll be over with after that… just going to turn it to an annual booster shot needed like the flu
Trump its a HOAX. It will dissappear. I like herd imminity. AMERICANS DYING. trump BIGGEST LIAR and LOSER
you just have to be humble and say thank you im not dead
Hey vb
P
I bbjjvx
Bjj
Catching Omicron or Delta flights home y’all? Which one? eenie miney mo Lol 😆🤣 good luck!! 🤞
nightmare…악몽…
One thing you don’t see with all these cancellations is Southwest. A woman told me years ago, “Southwest will always make it.” I’ve been flying them exclusively for 6 years and have had 2 delayed flights in that time. (Over 50 flights total and 16 flights since start of COVID)
💯
I had the same experience while on active duty. Never had issues with SW
yes sir
Why is anyone traveling while this pandemic is still going on. NO sympathy.
Live life sheep
@Larry D thanks schill we do live life just not stupidly.
@Larry D Sheep stuck inside an airport for the holidays.
did these people not think of this when they were told no travel?
gee…who could have possily thought this could happen? hmmm….no sympathy
The CDC making a big mistake by pushing back I said 10 days 5 days they know they could get infected and the disease at airborne do they care I don’t think so if they did they put more rude and regulation down but the spokes lady for the CDC making a big mistake this new virus knocking to the ground for a couple weeks and it ain’t that bad but we must protect the young ones and the rest of the people all the public can we say everybody’s your mask up and try to get their booster shots that’s all I can say but don’t try to use excuses we don’t like that
Don’t travel during holidays. You can see your family and loved one any day of the year. Don’t be a sheep.
Exactly
I keep telling people this.
drive or fly hundreds of miles to see a bunch of people i barely like and get dragged off to do inane family bs when i’d rather be watching football on my couch… no brainer, for me.
I say the same.
How is travelling to either see family or just to take a break from the madness here a “sheep” thing? Any idea just how silly that sounds? “Sheep”.. Hahahahahah!!! Lord. Haha Haha 😆
airports should honestly have hotels built in
I think most of the major ones have them… but, you know those were prioritized for pilots and flight attendants
They do, but they are expensive like airport food. They know you’re captive.
Build Back Better
What’s that?
Thank u joe
Airlines are notoriously bad at planning. And travelers need to understand that the combination of weather and pandemics are going to be even worse during holidays. I feel sorry for the people that had to take care of emergencies and ran into this foolishness. But I cringe at the fools that simply went on vacations in this crisis.
There’s too many people not enough planes . And they won’t expand operations only for a higher crowd of people that they only get one month out of the year, it won’t make sense for them financially. So if you book a flight on the holidays just better hope you get that plane that was able to land in time for you.
Shout out to George Floyd on 586 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!
I do not have pity, we are in the middle of a pandemic.
stay home….be safer
We are in the middle of a pandemic. You should have stayed home. Don’t feel sorry
Smh people just need to sit down somewhere they know the airline staff shortage is real and still travel smh smh
Hater
These people arent the sharpest tools in the shed!
No there not I agree
I just rent a car and drive back across state. Be a pilot.
The airlines have always been dishonest and have lousy service before all this .
Enjoy WhatsApp and tick-tok without interruption
Be smart. Ignorance (and stupidity sadly) is the root of misfortune. Let’s minimize the overworked/overwhelmed healthcare-frontline community load. Properly worn KN 95 and surgical masks work quite well and are helpful
Happy new year NBC news🍾🎊😊
why did he need to be in FLL for that 6 second response?
These cancellations make little sense but what do you expect when government is making things up as they go.
Stupid 2022 ever 🥺🥺🥺
Trifecta for travel fail:
1. Holiday (the big one)
2. Pandemic
3. Weather
Okie Dokie 👍 😈 And there’s nothing wrong with the Infastructer 😈
This is the new norm
I would’ve just drove instead of flying. Flying is either hit or miss.
People like these prolong everything.
Theres a killer virus spreading STAY HOME ! People are so ridiculous..
Lol should of stayed home
another reasons trains are a good choice
people are in a big rush to go nowhere
That’s what you get 🤣
The cdc don’t know what there talking about
Air lines need to close there doors and give it up
My holiday travels were a breeze. Granted I only ran down to the local convenience store for a box of beer and a bag of ice but it was open Highway both directions.
I visited my backyard
That part,keep it simple,our country has fq holidays and everything else up. Sit still and observe this genocidal behavior.
So glad I’m staying home.
Who are these experts?
Only idiots didn’t see this coming, oh well. Who willingly go to floriduh
I just dont travel anymore. Next time I fly it’s to a new country where I will live because the US sucks.
Also no sympathy. You can literally go any time and see your family. You knew it was going to be a nightmare and you did it anyways.
I would just rent a car and drive home. Simple as that, it might linger but at least I know I would get there.
…gosh, I feel sorry for them for putting themselves in such vulnerable positions, really bad circumstances here that could have been avoided.
I’ve got a simple solution here folks…STAY HOME. You’re welcome.😘
Is the government creating super-spreader sites within the airports across the United States? If so it is succeeding quite well. It might be their responsibility since they took the money from the lobbyists.
Biden’s vaccine mandates are why there has been air line cancelations.
AN PEOPLE STEEL TRAVEL WEN THERE KNOWING THIS CRAP IS GOING ON !!! HEY FAMILY LETS GIT STUCK KNOW IT GOING TO HAPPEN !!!!!? 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣
How many of our patriot freedom fighters get thrown off planes for not wearing a mask and punching people?
STAY HOME???
Biden, an abject failure.
Learn how to drive.
Everything I was told about Future Air-Travel in the 1960s was wrong !!!
Drive
They was warned way before the Holliday’s so um they can cry all they want
It’s not worth traveling right now especially during this scamdemic
People are idiots.
You can’t just make a pilot. They have as much schooling as a doctor.
Should have stayed home.
