Over 820 flights delayed, 50 canceled amid widespread U.S. travel disruptions

More than 820 flights were delayed and 50 were canceled across the United States amid widespread travel disruptions, according to FlightAware. Chicago O’Hare International Airport reported the highest number of problems among U.S. airports on Wednesday, with 38 delays and 4 canceled flights. Delta Air Lines led U.S. carriers with 90 delays and 6 cancellations. The disruptions are linked to thunderstorms moving through key areas, including Orlando (MCO), Chicago (ORD, MDW) and Denver (DEN) since Tuesday, with the FAA expecting afternoon thunderstorms to affect parts of Florida and Arizona. Passengers were urged to check flight status frequently via airline channels, enable app notifications, rebook quickly if canceled, and plan for extra time on connections through busy hubs.
