CBS News reports:
Airline travelers are not only facing sticker shock this Memorial Day weekend, the kickoff to the summer travel season. They’re also dealing with a pileup of flight cancellations. More than 1,200 flights were canceled as of 2 p.m EST Saturday, according to flight tracking website FlightAware.
That followed more than 2,300 cancellations on Friday. Delta noted in an email to The Associated Press that Saturday’s cancellations were due to bad weather and “air traffic control actions,” noting it’s trying to cancel flights at least 24 hours in advance this Memorial Day weekend.

Some disappointing news:
I had one delta flight cancelled.
I had a backup southwest flight cancel.
I had a second southwest flight delayed beyond repair.
Thus, I won’t make Casper WY to see many America First friends today.
I send my well wishes and my sincere regrets.
