"Travel Troubles: Storm Warnings and Traffic Surge Cause Chaos for Fourth of July"

Air travel chaos is affecting US airports ahead of Independence Day, with over 100 million Americans under extreme weather warnings. More than 1,000 flights have been delayed or cancelled, and United Airlines has been the most affected carrier, with over 150 postponed flights. Severe storms threaten the eastern US, while the south and west continue to experience a heatwave. United Airlines CEO apologized for delays and cancellations, and the airline is compensating affected customers with frequent flier miles. The Federal Aviation Administration plans to hire more air traffic controllers, but poor weather conditions still pose challenges. No major flight disruptions have been reported due to the new 5G rollout around airports. Thunderstorms and heatwaves are expected to persist across various regions of the country.
