  1. I really don’t care about people traveling !!! If you have money to travel then you don’t mind waiting in long lines … no thank you my time is more valuable than a trip

  2. This is just the test run for Thanksgiving and Christmas. People will be stuck then..they never learn. Staycation.

  3. The public’s misunderstanding and uneducation on how airlines/airports work just makes things worse… there are airport hired and FAA hired individuals who are in shortage which all work in concert for flight operations where the airlines have no control over. That’s just one of the dozens of things outside of an airline’s sphere of influence

  4. At least you guys got to enjoy some time off. A lot of us had to and continue to work major holidays without much leeway nor say in order to put a roof over our heads, so excuse me when I say I have little to nothing in my empathy tank.

  5. i flew out thursday at 6am nonstop and flew back home monday july 4 at 5 AM nonstop. I have no problem whatsoever. The key is to fly early as possible and make sure it’s nonstop

  6. this is the United States of democrats.

  7. Biden's failure is crystal clear!!!!!!!

  8. Bet you all that a lot of people are going to get fired from their jobs due to this. Some airline people are just lazy to do their jobs. If you can't do your job then get out. Let someone else that is qualified to do better than you.

  9. What happened to the 45 billion dollars the government gave to the air industry to prevent this from happening? Funny how our tax dollars evaporated without any accountability.

  10. Good. All the pilots should strike. It's a tough job and you don't even get paid much. The world should become a disconnected place now. No need for immigration or travel. Nope.

  11. Pay the employees more so they be attracted to want to work

  12. You people know their are flight ✈️ issues why fly stay your asses home or don’t complain when their is a problem

  13. I wish I could travel to the u.s .. but it's really so hard.. but it's fine cause i'm gonna travel to Australia..
    Finally i'm really so happy😭😭💔

  14. you don't have to travel. IF you do you deal with the conquences

  15. FOOLS!!!
    Unless it is absolutely necessary … knowing what's going on in the airline travel industry … avoid flying anywhere … avoid the headaches and STAY THE "F" HOME FOOLS!!!

  16. Forced Vaccination 🤦🏾‍♀️

  17. THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS

  18. i flew out thursday at 6am nonstop and flew back home monday july 4 at 5 AM nonstop. I have no problem whatsoever. The key is to fly early as possible and make sure it’s nonstop

  19. No! You have told the world the secret about the international numbers, now those are going to be congested too.

  20. This is why I don't go out on major holidays anymore. The amount of stress and wasted time isn't worth it anymore. My family and I celebrate our separate time now.

  21. This is a failure of the private sector and no one else's. American airlines have never been known as the best but even when it comes to pricing they're losing. I've been looking at prices for a November trip to southeast Asia. The US airlines are anywhere from $500 to $1000 more than their foreign competitors.

  22. Where’s Buttibitch, isn’t this his responsibility?

  23. 50 million dumb ass people killing more gas speeding Covid and spending money they say they need and want more free money from the government

  24. Travel chaos is likewise happening here in Canada's major airports.

  25. Jesus Christ, who is God in human form, died on the cross for the sins of every person. He was buried and rose again three days later. Eternal life is a free gift.
    it’s received by faith (trust) in Christ. John 6:47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that believes in me has everlasting life.
    Turn away from sins and walk on the path of life ✝️

  26. I guess old age is setting in on me.
    I have been to 16 countries and 26 of 50 states and have no desire to travel by air. Never mind the cost,
    medical, cancelations
    and fellow travelers.
    Uncle Sam doesn't want Americans traveling…

  27. Maybe if they paid their TSA officers more, they could handle all of these people. At my airport, they have only one security line because the TSA staff is down 75%.

  28. Don’t travel during peak travel days. Go a day early…or a day later.

  29. don’t sell the tickets you can’t honor

  30. Thank the vaccine mandate. There's a shortage of staff and pilots no one is talking about.

  31. The moral of the story is to not travel during the holidays. 😊
