As of 9:35 a.m. EST on November 10, 2026, over 803 flights in the United States were delayed and 56 flights cancelled, according to FlightAware. Globally, more than 10,766 flights experienced delays and 442 flights were cancelled within the same timeframe.
Airports Affected by Weather Conditions
Flight delays and cancellations across U.S. airports were primarily attributed to adverse weather conditions. The Federal Aviation Administration reported wind-related disruptions at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), and the Washington, D.C. area airports including Baltimore/Washington International (BWI), Ronald Reagan Washington National
(DCA), and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD).
Thunderstorms and low cloud cover caused delays and cancellations at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and San Antonio International Airport (SAT). Low clouds also affected operations at San Diego International Airport (SAN) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
Traveler Recommendations Amid Disruptions
Passengers are advised to frequently monitor their flight status through airline websites or mobile applications. Enabling notifications for gate changes, delays, and cancellations can provide timely updates. Travelers with connecting flights should allow extra time for transfers, especially at busy hubs.
It is recommended to carry essential items in carry-on luggage to prepare for potential extended
delays. Reviewing airline refund and rebooking policies before travel can help manage disruptions more smoothly.
Expert Advice on Handling Flight Cancellations
Eryn Gordon, a TedX speaker on ethical and responsible travel and founder of Earth to Editorial, emphasized treating cancellations as logistical challenges rather than emergencies. Gordon advised, “A cancellation feels like chaos, but the travelers who come out of it best treat a disruption as a planning problem rather than an emergency. Screenshot the rebooking policy before you leave the house.”
Gordon also cautioned against quickly accepting the first available alternative seat. “The trap is thinking speed is everything and grabbing the first seat offered,
when that seat can strand you in a connecting airport overnight with your bag on another aircraft,” she said.
