Across the nation, many travelers are experiencing chaos at the airport. Over 2,000 flights have been canceled since yesterday, according to FlightAware. The chaos is expected to only get worse for the travel industry during the July Fourth weekend. The surge in travel can be attributed to severe weather and staffing shortages while demand soars. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

God writes the Bible When He Before He died on the cross He knows about teaching Children to learn about God He was a teacher from heaven his kingdom This Pope Peter He is now a saint during his life many saints can be teachers Teaching students learn about god that is about Goodness of joy of happiness not this violence of darkness
Yo, dude. You should probably put the bong down.
No God did not write the Bible. Get it straight. Human men wrote the Bible with their own bias and their own hatred. Now you can tell me the fairy tale about Noah’s Ark.
@Doctorae hahahaha
Vegas in July? Do they know what 130 degrees feels like? Lol
Yakee’s!
Yeah and i love it
LoL LoL
ikr, it fkn blows
These people don’t have to go to these places so I have no sympathy for them
Are you kidding. You don’t know that.
On the one hand we are told inflation is really bad but on the other we see this…ok
Along stay in airport.and over price food. In restaurants.i eat very little mostly nuts and candy the food and drinks are well over priced
They have cancelation cause they dont have workers due the vacinnes mandates airlines require work there! This news will never say that. Pharmaceutical industry owns this station
lol
They can’t tell u FUEL Shortage,
Or No Piolets !!! LoL
Not good
I would rather work for Amazon than travel by plane.
Dang.
You already knew.
I want to fly to Italy and never come back to the USA
Fuel must be too costly
Welcome to Biden’s America. Have a safe flight, when you get one.
Why is everyone traveling I though you guys couldn’t afford gas?!?!? Smh!!!!
Yeah exactly
It’s like every time there’s a fuel shortage, or high prices.. I see brand new SUVs all over the roads due to dealership discounts..
Happy gas prices will go up more
Stay safe people
People still got too much money. Despite people believe. Most poor people are struggling but we are all not poor
Poorly written.
NBC News, Thank you for comparing prices to 2019. I’m tired of prices being compared to last year or last month. Neither makes sense as a means of comparison (comparing prices to last year makes no sense because prices were wonky last year due to the pandemic—and comparing to last month is just too short of a timeframe for most items).
Hello Beth how are you doing today.
Thank goodness I’m not flying .
Tv brainwashed tax slaves gotta get back to work
Terr attack
they need to do about this that’s annoying
Remember when we were told by the GOP that allowing airlines to merge and buy each other leading to fewer airlines, flights and competition was going to be good for consumers and the country? Remember when we actually had competition and choice, and airlines like Northwest, Continental and US Airways ?
Also remember the lack of pilots and fewer workers in the airline industry due to the lingering Covid effects, etc.
@AZMike more airlines – more employees
It goes wayyyy beyond politics. This has nothing to do with politics. We are short staffed in every aspect of the phrase. I can’t recall the last time everyone showed up to work. If anything these cancelations will help us to stop working 80 hour weeks and help us catch up.
@Alex R No, then we’ll complain about noise pollution,, climate change and whatever else.
@Noel López this is true, at my job, there were so many new hires today, but we’re betting right now who will quit the soonest. The turnover rate at the airport is extremely high now.
I haven’t traveled by air in over 20 years and I’m not about to, enjoy your scorching bon fire 🔥 not for me
Yes, I’m done with flying too.
Enjoy your couch
Next thing you know jets and planes ✈️ will fly on electricity ⚡️ Maybe even solar
Чего и следовало ожидать
I just flew in today with no problems.
Soaring demand ? Don’t the airlines chose which flights they’re going to offer?
don’t fly its stupid
🤍 Well get tested 👨🏽⚕️
Airlines had plenty of time to prepare. Tickets are bought in advance! They don’t care because their already paid for services not performed! Huge Profits!
Trouble is they cannot find qualified people to go to work for them. The hiring process is very long. You cannot say you’re hired and have them start tomorrow. Background checks can take up to 6 weeks before you can even bring them in the door. Then training can take another 6 weeks, plus several more months to become proficient in their jobs. It’s already too late to save this summer. Airlines are now getting concerned with the economic outlook with the threat of a major recession on the horizon it makes no sense to hire 1000s of people only to lay them off this fall.
Shame on the airliners for causing this mess & ppl ppl ppl you should of known things are not back to normal anymore like Cmon lol.
Trans-continental travel with planes. Trains. Yeah. Anything else no one wants anything about you.
My friends will make it to Montana next week on Friday and they’ll be back on Saturday or Sunday home . Driving will be good for mom and I since we’re gonna travel by road . People just relax and work together As a team .
21 years old I didn’t know what I was seeing at the airports but I knew in my 6 year old mind the world will change. So I’m up to the game
Life may seem unfair but God is with you always. Keep your eyes on the finish line. A kingdom awaits you. 🙏
If God is with you always, then why is it important to have a finish line.
Hes not in Ukraine
Putin did it.
Let’s build railways. Bring back excellent rail service like they have all over Europe. We are the richest country in the world. We can afford to build more rails and locomotives.
More trains, subways, buses, and actual walkable cities
Hello Karla
And all over Asia .. I lived in Japan for 6 years (not military) I never needed to drive a car. I rode the JR (above ground) train, the underground metro in Tokyo, private rail by businesses to get their workers to work cheaper and make $$ with advertising, high speed rail to go far distances quickly, some mag-lev as well. I saw the country on my weekends by rail. Rode my bike 8 minutes to out local station the a 4 minute train ride to work. We could literally walk the entire city and our town with a multide of train stations at a walkable distance away. I was in much better health because with that, there is no sedentary lifestyle. Americans have no idea…
@Black Binaural Beats Technically, rails are the past ( over 120 years old), mag-lev is the future although even that started in the late 70’s early 80’s
@Rack Trains wouldn’t fully replace planes but trains would take alot of congestion off of the airline industry and makes it easy and convenient plus cheaper to go between cities.
I’m fine right where I am.
Wheres our Transportation Secretary? Pete, Pete, where are you?????
When did the Fourth of July become a traveling holiday anyway? When I was a kid (and now in my 50s), it’s more fun to grill burgers and shoot off bottle rockets, maybe drive into Birmingham and watch the fireworks over Red Mountain.
As a nearly-50 American-by-choice, I never got habituated into “traveling for the Fourth” either, especially today when it involves spending hours at an airport.
If I wanted to waste countless periods of time stuck at airports or transit stations, I can do that in my native country.
I don’t get it. Where do people go and what do they do?
@Ryan Christopher I can only guess they are ‘desperate’ to have what they perceive to be a ‘good time’. I’m going to work on 4th and make time and a half, then maybe paint door facings in my house. They’re looking kind of ratty.
Because most people have only 10 vacation days per year, so it’s the only time to travel and combine vacation days and public holidays.
@Bonde Mupazanyini Not much of a wise “combination” if two of those days are wasted at airports though.
Wow it seems not that long ago they were getting tons of aid and now it’s like…
human overpopulation is the disease; everything else is a symptom
I rather not fly right now until additional employees are hired. Now american companies realize we are not going to work for chicken feed anymore. We need to be paid a livable wage!
These people low-key deserve it. Please don’t come back.
Lol 😆 sucks to be them
Never fly AA
I rather steal those rings from Sonic the Hedgehog than pay $1000 for a roundtrip ticket from Phoenix to LA.
I’m glad I’m so poor that I can’t go on vacation so I won’t have to deal with airport travel but maybe a walk to the park instead 🙄?!
Man I rather bike to Alaska than wait on that nightmare lineups
Lol
Good for you Lance Armstrong
@Bonde Mupazanyini lol seriously that’s unpredictable lineup I must say
I made it 50 years without using a plane suppose I’ll make it 50 more…
Maybe just maybe airlines shouldn’t sell so many tickets that they are incapable of committing to with all of their staffing shortages and other excuses…
They don’t care it’s all about the money
I got a 5:30a flight with United airlines on July 4th 🤔
Broooo spirit destroyed my bag ruined all my new clothes my bag got stuck in the belt
😂😭
Can we start investing in Amtrak now?
.
$350 at minimum, and then delays. No thanks.
Than give me job
NOT A GOOD TIME FOR TOURISM ❌❌❌❌❌
NO NO NO NO NO NO 😈😈😈😈😈
It’s scary how nobody but employees wear masks. Id quit too
NO WONDER TOURISM INDUSTRY CONTINUES to be in the DOLDRUMS since 2020 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Lmao.
LAX and San Francisco international airport filled with bum and homeless people.. what a shame

Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.
No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.
since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.
MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
.
We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.
.
More Very Disturbing Trends –
1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.
2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs
3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment
4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always
5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them
Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?
nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
Proverbs 10:9, NI
….
That’s why I drive everywhere
Airlines are not allowed to open a flight if they do not have a staff! Greed doesn’t work
A few weeks back I watched the crew simply refuse to fly because they timed out. The ground crew had to offload everything, and then the flight was cancelled.
herpes virus and other diseases, I really want to appreciate dr osaba on YouTube for curing my herpes disease, I must say natural remedy is the best medicine for all chronic diseases.

Take a train/bus, at least you’ll know you’ll get there.
Been the same in U. K for months. Flight chaos everyday, cancellations, strikes etc. All planned.
Can we put Elon Musk in charge of America’s transportation!
U.S should invest on an effective rail system.
I prefer to travel on non-holidays for this reason.
Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind, and fills your life with stories to tell.
People know what is going on or what can happen in terms of cancellations when they travel on some of the holidays these days so most of us watching the news do NOT have sympathy with their complaints.
I’d rather stay home
it’s all about who you can Blame As the Azz Hole that started the Blame Game… Joe Biden…
0:21 2
You don’t need to travel by flight. It’s a luxury expense. Zero sympathy for those delayed.
🙏🏾➕
How do people have this money to spend on travel omg.
Well they did mandate vaccinations for aviation industry. and of course they aren’t talking about that. We knew this was going to happen or at least be a factor 🤷🏼♀️
The greedy airline over book flights, and the customers get screwed, if a plane has 100 seats, then you sell 100 tickets, it doesn’t take a mathematician, they do it to make as much money as possible, they get more money by selling 150 tickets for a 100 seat flight, and let their customers deal with it at the airports
Isn’t it illegal to sell tickets that can’t be honored? What if you buy a ticket to see a concert and the band doesn’t show up?
Nothing more patriotic than running away from your whitewashed history of violence at the expense of making tax subsidized corporations richer so they can use the cash for stock buybacks so they can further inflate the price.
Still playing “covid”?
An yet these moron so called economists keep talking about recession like chicken little. Even with inflation, Americans are not holding on travel, vacation etc. I mean Amtrak is sold out solid on many Eastern routes because people just don’t want to deal with airports and when did 4th July become a ‘travel’ holiday as the media keeps talking about? People generally, stay local, picnics and watch the fireworks in their area and it is on a Monday this year.
As for flight delays due to weather but came back from SFO and didn’t see any cancellations and my flights were all on time.Packed yes, not a single empty seat so again news outlet megaphone ‘travel chaos’ and which can repeat it the most.
The stupidity of people. We are still in pandemic. Staff shortages throughout the US due to cov19 and lack of pay.As a frequent flyer, never do I fly on holiday weeks or in the summer time. There is a greater chance of flights being delayed and canceled. Best months for efficient travel are October, January, February, and March.
September…
