✈️ Holiday Travel Alert: A Free Tool Every Flyer Should Save

If you’re flying anytime soon, today, next week, or deep into the holiday rush, there’s one website you’ll want bookmarked before you even pack your carry-on. Travel delays are a fact of life this time of year, and knowing what’s happening before you leave for the airport can save you hours of frustration.

Meet FlightAware’s Live Cancellations and Delay Tracker, a completely free tool that shows, in real time, how many flights are being delayed or canceled by every major airline and every airport, down to exact numbers and percentages.

 

Yes, percentages.
Yes, airline by airline.
Yes, airport by airport.
And yes, it updates live.

 

This is the kind of tool you want open on your phone while you’re grabbing your morning coffee, heading to LAX or Ontario, or figuring out whether you should leave a little earlier for your holiday flight.

 

🔍 What You’ll See at a Glance

  • Total delays nationwide

  • Total cancellations nationwide

  • Breakdowns by airline (who’s struggling, who’s running smoothly)

  • Breakdowns by airport (LAX, BUR, ONT, SNA, all of them)

  • Real-time percentages of how much of each airline’s schedule is affected

 

It’s the closest thing to having an air-traffic operations board in your pocket, and during the busiest travel weeks of the year, that’s gold.

 

🧭 Why This Matters Now

The next few weeks are historically some of the most chaotic travel days in the U.S. Weather, staffing, aircraft rotations, and pure volume all play a role. Instead of relying on scattered alerts from airlines or waiting until you’re already stressed in a terminal, this page gives you a snapshot of exactly what’s going on across the country, in one view.

If you’re traveling for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, or even just a quick weekend run, this tool can help you:

  • Spot trouble early

  • Adjust your timing

  • Switch flights faster

  • Avoid long airport waits

  • Know when to pack extra patience

 

💡 The Link to Save

Here’s the exact page:
FlightAware – Live Cancellations & Delays
www.flightaware.com/live/cancelled/today

(It’s 100% free, no sign-up, no nonsense.)

 

Bookmark it, screenshot it, or keep it pinned on your phone’s browser — you’ll be glad you did when the holiday travel madness kicks in.

 

✈️ Final Tip

If you share this with friends and family who are flying, they’ll think you’re the travel genius of the group. And honestly? You kind of will be.
