Holiday Travel Chaos: Major Flight Delays at South Florida Airports
South Florida airports, including Palm Beach International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and Miami International Airport, are experiencing major flight delays on the busiest travel day of the year due to runway construction, high volume, and the need to space out air traffic. The delays range from 3 minutes to 63 minutes, affecting both departures and arrivals. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 2.9 million passengers on this busy travel day, urging travelers to arrive at the airport two hours before their scheduled departure time. Additionally, a snowstorm in the Rockies and Central Plains has put 14 million people under winter weather alerts.
