Flight Delays Have Been Common This Summer!
Summer is typically a busy season for travel, and we’ve definitely felt that in a few ways lately. Between big crowds at the parks and long lists of flight delays and cancellations, things have been pretty hectic in Orlando this summer.

Orlando International Airport has been in the news quite often recently.

This is mainly due to the new projects happening at the airport, like the Brightline Train and the new terminal opening up later this year. There are also some new airlines flying into the airport and new bus services to and from the airport and Disney World. But, all of these exciting new things happening doesn’t mean Orlando International Airport is exempt from any issues. Let’s check out why flying in and out of Orlando could be more difficult today.

However large crowds, combined with the continuing concern over the Omicron variant of COVID-19, have created complications for this travel season. Over Christmas Eve, we began to see thousands of flights getting canceled, with more than 700 either arriving into or departing from the U.S.. And even two days after Christmas, thousands more flights were canceled, and it seems that this trend is continuing into the New Year.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
