UPDATE: Travel chaos continues as flight cancellations disrupt U.S. air travel for a third consecutive day. On Sunday, FlightAware reported over 2,200 flights canceled and more than 7,500 delayed, leaving travelers anxious as the busy Thanksgiving holiday approaches.

While passengers at Fresno Yosemite Airport reported no delays, the ripple effects are felt nationwide. Travel agents are on high alert, with agents like Cathyrn Doty from Not Your Evil Stepmother’s Vacation Planner stating, “I am monitoring the cancellations every morning to keep my clients informed.” Doty emphasized the need for flexibility, as sudden changes can occur at any moment.

As millions of Americans prepare to travel for Thanksgiving, AAA predicts peak travel days will hit on Tuesday, Wednesday, and the following Sunday of the holiday week. “Travelers should remain vigilant and flexible,” said Doug Johnson, a spokesman for AAA. “It is crucial to adapt to potential delays and cancellations during this busy travel period.”
