Alaska Airlines is urging passengers to consider rescheduling their trips.
With COVID-19 cases surging, airlines are finding it difficult to keep flights from getting canceled this holiday season.Almost 7,000 flights with at least one stop in the U.S. have been canceled since Christmas Eve, according to FlightAware. As of 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, cancellations for the day were already at more than 850 -- and creeping up fast.
"We strongly urge flyers with non-essential travel scheduled before January 2, 2022, to consider changing their travel to a later date using our flexible travel policy," the airline said in a statement.A family works through check-in at Alaska Airlines ticketing after dozens of flights were listed as cancelled or delayed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Seattle, Dec. 27, 2021.
Seattle-Tacoma International took the number one spot on Wednesday for the airport with the most flight cancellations in the world. On its website it says,"staffing issues may bring further delays in operations."
