On November 10, 2026, at least 803 flights were delayed and 56 canceled across airports in the United States as of 9:35 a.m. EST, according to FlightAware. Globally, there were over 10,766 flight delays and 442 cancellations reported at the same time.
Airports Affected by Weather Conditions
The Federal Aviation Administration identified wind as causing delays at several Northeast airports, including Boston Logan International Airport (BOS); New York’s Newark Liberty (EWR), John F. Kennedy (JFK), and LaGuardia (LGA) airports; Philadelphia International Airport (PHL); and the Washington, D.C. area airports Baltimore/Washington International (BWI), Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA), and Washington Dulles International (IAD).
Thunderstorms and low
cloud cover were responsible for delays or cancellations at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and San Antonio International Airport (SAT). Low clouds also disrupted operations at San Diego International Airport (SAN) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
Traveler Guidance During Widespread Flight Disruptions
Passengers flying within and from the U.S. on November 10 are encouraged to check their flight status frequently through airline websites or mobile apps for real-time updates on gate changes and cancellations. Travelers with connecting flights should allow additional time at busy airports to accommodate potential delays.
Essential items are advised to be kept in carry-on luggage to ensure accessibility during prolonged delays. Reviewing
airline refund and rebooking policies before travel is recommended to manage disruptions more effectively.
Expert Advice on Managing Flight Cancellations
Eryn Gordon, TEDx speaker on ethical travel and founder of Earth to Editorial, advised travelers to approach cancellations as planning challenges rather than emergencies. Gordon said, “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.” She warned against accepting the first available seat without consideration, noting, “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.”
