It was a Christmas travel nightmare at Phoenix Sky Harbor as about 100 flights were canceled and delayed throughout the day. Gabriella Flareau and her family were trying to go to Tennessee from Palm Springs, California, but her flight was canceled.
“I don’t fly very much. This would be my third time I’ve flown my whole life,” Flareau said. “This is a little frustrating, but it is what it is. We’re just going to wait to see what happens.”

Truckers passing through Phoenix
Idiots there is a snow storm what did you think would happen duh
Gosh I hope everyone gets home! I never travel during holidays.
God answered my prayers because I was close to booking a flight to Denver. Good thing my 4 year old and I didn't go.
To be expected
Democrats + ABC = border crisis
I just got home from work long Cool night for me I when my filght come in later let go prospect /Delta
I need to ask… when have the airports and airlines not been a nightmare for the last 30 years?????
Safer travels. Yes hardly have any air traffic all weekend. Bad weather. Don’t blame airlines, be safe. Eat and drink and be merry.
If you are stuck for a bit? Go to the nearest resort. Enjoy.
You guys can't be frustrated if you guys got crazy snow storms you guys knew the risk stop bitching
They knew for a week this was going to happen. Tough luck.
Fight was at
There already there
Steven heads in it
They should raise the standards for pilots even higher. 5k hours before you can become a commercial pilot. Or maybe 10k. Shoot, why not 20k. For safety.
It’ll be safe because nobody will fly anymore.
Winter travel, anything can happen
Happens every year ! 🙄 Stay home & have a 🍺 !
Just a cash grab by the airlines. Don't believe me? check expedia, there are flights available to and form all major US airports. But now it will cost you 1000's instead of the hundreds you paid for your tickets that are now useless. Just more Corporate Greed.
Every year the same thing happens but the whole country knew about this storm coming weeks ago. Who are the mad at, the weather, God or their own stupidity. At least they are alive and warm at the airport.
I hope they get to where they’re going soon. Safe travels, everyone. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Been there, done that. Never again.
blame it on Kari Lake ~
20 minutes late to one hour late…I witness one employee saying, we have 8,000 bags or so 🎒 🙄. The news reported that some planes are having technical problems, because of the weather. What I don't understand 😕 if possible, why not tell people before they check in their bags… separated from our 🧳, where will our 🎒 go, without us…. it would have been be 👍 great. if we had known. The rerouting of their schedules. We could have made other adjustments.
there's really no need to go anywhere on merchantmas day a total joke of a holiday! it can wait!
tough to see those two kids with disappointing looks with their mother. Holiday travels during Xmas and New Year have been terrible and scary even before the pandemic. So, I avoid. It is not worth it.
karma to all demonic democrats voted for corrupt officials in office!
