In another sign that life is returning to “before COVID-19” normalcy, more Americans took to the skies over Labor Day weekend.
Time to book a flight?
We have seen plenty of delays and flight cancelations over the past few months because of staffing concerns and other airline problems. But Labor Day weekend set a new kind of record.
Forget the horror movies and scary shows. The true-life nightmares that can haunt you in the daytime and as you sleep right now are…flight complications.
Have you had any flights canceled?
Delays, cancellations, price changes — all of it can make hopping into an airplane and traveling a major stressor. While flight costs have been going down lately, those changes might not last too long. And it’s not just flight costs you have to worry about. You’ve also got to consider mishandled luggage and consumer complaints that might make your trip even more challenging. And now we’ve got some updates that could impact your future trips.
The airline industry has been dealing with some unprecedented challenges this summer.
Air travel has been a bit of a gamble recently.
Although summer travel demand has increased this year, airlines are having trouble keeping up. A pilot shortage, severe weather, and other issues have resulted in multiple flight delays and canceled flights. Delta Airlines cut 100 flights per day from its summer schedule to try to minimize disruptions. Now, another airline has adjusted its schedule for September.
Over the past few years, the airline industry has faced a lot of challenges.
Orlando International Airport
Now, with summer travel picking up to pre-pandemic levels, airlines and airports are having problems keeping up. A pilot shortage, along with weather issues, and more, are causing multiple flight delays and cancellations. With Orlando International Airport being the busiest in the U.S., it’s seen its share of delays, including a HUGE amount this summer.
Do you know what to do if your flight gets canceled to Disney World?
Orlando International Airport
With lots of flights getting canceled all the time — including flights to Orlando — you should probably have a plan in place, just in case. Everything from your tickets to your park pass reservations, your hotel reservation to your advance dining reservations could be affected, so knowing Disney World’s cancelation policies for these things is ALWAYS a good idea.
It’s no secret that it’s getting harder to travel.
It’s getting harder to travel
The price of gas continues to fluctuate and airlines are frequently canceling and delaying flights. JetBlue has already announced that they would be cancelling many flights this summer, and now an airline has made the decision to stop service to some cities.
Your Disney World trip this summer won’t be the same as it was before.
Main Street U.S.A.
From supply chain issues to ever-changing gas prices, your summer trip may be totally unlike your trip last summer and even unlike the trip you took just a few months ago. Today we’re going through ALL the ways Disney World will be DIFFERENT this summer so you can be prepared!
If you’re planning on flying to Disney World this summer, you’re going to want to be PREPARED. Prepared for what you ask? Well, a few things.
In the Air
For one, there’s the cost. We’ve already looked at what the estimated cost to fly to Disney World in May looks like, but (as you likely know) costs can be ever-changing. The rising cost of jet fuel is just one factor that might make those flights to the Most Magical Place on Earth quite a bit more expensive than you might be used to. But what if availability and capacity of flights also gets limited? If you’re flying JetBlue this summer, you might experience just that and it could CHANGE your trip plans.
If you plan on flying to Disney World today, you may need to check your flight status ASAP.

We recommend keeping a close eye on your flight status flying into and out of Orlando International Airport. Delays happen, cancellations occur, and weather often causes problems. Today, though, one airline is having some technical issues that have resulted in over 100 Orlando flights being canceled.
Since the holidays, the airlines have been hit hard by flight cancellations, with many flights being canceled due to weather.
Orlando International Airport
Although wintry weather might not affect the Orlando area or Disney World directly, it can affect those traveling from certain areas of the U.S. to and from the resort. And yesterday, many travelers were unpleasantly surprised when their flights were canceled.
