Tracking US flight delays and cancellations in charts
CNN is tracking delays and cancellations for flights traveling to, from or within the US using data from FlightAware. Data updates every 15 minutes.
www.cnn.comHere are the latest updates I can share based on recent reporting:
- A nationwide wave of flight disruptions has persisted at major U.S. hubs, with hundreds to thousands of delays and cancellations reported across the busiest airports. The pattern has centered on high-traffic gateways like Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Detroit, where weather and air-traffic management have contributed to cascading delays.[1]
- Several large carriers have been notably affected, including Delta, American, United, and Alaska, with a mix of flight cancellations and substantial delays on both long-haul and feeder routes into major hubs.[1]
- Live-tracking outlets have continued to aggregate real-time delay and cancellation data, showing continued volatility in schedules and the need for travelers to monitor status updates close to departure times.[5]
What I can help with next:
- I can pull a current, city-by-city or airport-by-airport snapshot (e.g., delays vs. cancellations for top hubs) if you want a focused view for planning travel from Buffalo or nearby airports.
- I can provide practical tips to mitigate disruption risk (rebooking strategies, how to use airline waivers, best times to connect, etc.).
- If you’re traveling soon, I can help you craft a flexible itinerary and draft a message to your airline requesting rebooking or compensation, depending on your situation.
Would you like me to compile a concise, up-to-date snapshot for specific airports (e.g., BUF, JFK, LGA, EWR, BOS, ORD, DCA/LAX) and give you recommended options for rebooking or alternate travel dates? Also, tell me your intended travel dates and whether you prefer a nonstop route or are flexible with connections.
