After thousands of U.S. flights were canceled or delayed over the holidays in 2022, most holiday travelers this year are off to a cheerier start this Christmas. But a few trouble spots were emerging on Christmas Day.
Roughly 157 flights to, from or within the U.S. had been been cancelled as of 5:25 p.m. Eastern Time, while just 2,058 were delayed, according to tracking service FlightAware.
Airlines had canceled only 1.2% of U.S. flights so far this year as of Dec. 22, the lowest in five years. Nearly 3 million passengers were expected to pass through domestic airports during the busy holiday period, up 16% from 2022.

How is 157 hundreds? It barely rounds up to 200, and that’s all US flights, not just Southwest. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to total daily flights in the country.
It’s 157 hundreds if you count every seat on the flight as cancelled!
Agreed. I say ”fuck yo puts" to the writer of this article… but also, thank you for some extra facts in the article.
Agreed, it’s just sensationalized because southwest recently had to pay out a fine from a class action suit. Making it seem like a bigger deal than it actually is.
