Flight Cancellations Impact Oklahoma Travelers

Flight Cancellations Affect Oklahoma Flyers

National Impacts Reach Into Local Airports

With 40 of the busiest airports cancelling four thousand flights across the U.S. beginning today the cancellations and delays are starting to trickle down to airports in Oklahoma. Additionally, weather patterns and air traffic disruptions across major hubs place more pressure on the aviation system nationwide. This ripple effect can reach Oklahoma travelers even when weather is normal inside the state.

Will Rogers World Airport Seeing Cancellations

Flights are beginning to be cancelled at Will Rogers. Airport officials say the next several days may include rolling changes and fluctuating departure boards as national impacts ripple into the state.

Travelers Urged To Plan Ahead

Airport officials say if your flying, pack your patience and call ahead and make sure your flights out of Oklahoma and connecting flights haven’t been canceled. Additionally, flight apps and alerts update faster than terminal screens in many situations, giving flyers a better chance of adjusting travel in real time.

Early Arrival Recommended

Those could and probably will be affected. Officials stress not to assume on-time status until verified.

Another tip is to arrive at the airport about two hours before your flight. Finally, officials say the earlier you arrive, the more likely you are to clear TSA with less stress and secure a seat if gate agents shift passengers.
