    Airlines were given billions of dollars in Covid relief. What to the taxpayers get for that bailout money? Higher prices and crappy service.

    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.

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

    I would like to travel by air for my first time, but with this going on, I can't.

    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.

    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%.
  • 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

    Not much different than the traffickers bringing folks across the border.. you pay a ticket price to be delivered somewhere and the driver just randomly decides to drop you off hours away from your destination. Shameful.

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

    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.

    Travel chaos is likewise happening here in Canada's major airports.
  • @milkman3797
    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

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