Nearly 600 flights were canceled in the U.S. as of about 11 a.m. ET, according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware. Almost 3,000 were delayed.
Delta Air Lines led with the most cancellations, scrapping 277 flights, or 9% of its schedule.
Some airlines also began issuing waivers to give travelers flexibility.
The Department of Transportation has a series of dashboards to help travelers see what they’re entitled to in the event their flight is canceled or delayed. In most cases, a canceled flight allows you to get a full refund, but delay compensation is a little less strict from a regulatory standpoint.
