On November 10, 2026, at least 803 flights experienced delays and 56 were cancelled across multiple U.S. airports as of 9:35 a.m. EST, according to data from FlightAware. Affected airports included Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), New York airports (Newark Liberty International Airport EWR, John F. Kennedy International Airport JFK, and LaGuardia Airport LGA), Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), Washington, D.C. area airports (Baltimore/Washington International BWI, Ronald Reagan Washington National DCA, and Washington Dulles International IAD), Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), San Antonio International Airport (SAT), San Diego International Airport (SAN), and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
Weather Factors Behind Flight Disruptions
The Federal Aviation Administration reported
that wind was a primary factor contributing to delays at East Coast airports including those in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Thunderstorms combined with low clouds were expected to cause additional delays or cancellations at Austin and San Antonio airports. Meanwhile, low cloud cover was forecast to disrupt operations at San Diego and San Francisco airports.
Traveler Guidance Amid Flight Delays and Cancellations
Travelers facing delays or cancellations were advised to monitor flight statuses through airline websites and mobile apps. Eryn Gordon, founder of Earth to Editorial and a TedX speaker on responsible travel, recommended passengers screenshot airline rebooking policies before arriving at the airport.
Gordon cautioned against accepting the first offered rebooking option without consideration, warning it could result in being stranded overnight at connecting airports with luggage separated from the traveler.
Additional recommended steps included keeping essential items in carry-on luggage in case of extended delays and allowing extra connection time when booking flights through busy airports.
