600 flights are cancelled and 2,800 are delayed as July Fourth weekend 'Airmageddon' begins: Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg 'gives up' and tells passengers to claim compensation from airlines

Chaos continues to swamp U.S. airports amid the busiest travel weekend since the pandemic with more than 600 flights canceled and nearly 2,900 delayed as of Saturday morning

Leading cancellations was American Airlines, with 80 flights canceled so far, with Delta, United and Southwest all following behind as more than 3.55 million are expected to fly over the Fourth of July weekend

On Thursday alone, the Transportation Security Administration screened more than 2.4 million travelers at airports on Thursday, up 17 percent from the Fourth of July Friday in 2019

Since the hectic Juneteenth travel weekend, the U.S. has seen more than 12,000 flights canceled

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told Americans to seek compensation for their canceled flights like he did rather than discuss strategies to fix the chaos
