FAA Flight Cuts to Impact Major U.S. Airports Amid Air Traffic Slowdown

The FAA's 10% flight reduction due to the government shutdown will impact over 40 major U.S. airports, causing widespread cancellations and delays, especially affecting regional and less full flights. Airlines are offering waivers and refunds, but travelers should expect longer wait times, potential rebooking issues, and expensive last-minute tickets. International flights are less affected, and travelers are advised to check their credit card protections and airline policies for compensation options.
