United Airlines and Delta Air Lines both canceled dozens of Christmas Eve flights because of staff shortages amid the surge in infections.
United Airlines canceled 177 flights and Delta canceled 150 flights, data from the website FlightAware showed as of 11:56 a.m. Eastern Time (1656 GMT). More than 2,100 flights globally were scrapped, with 527 cancellations within, into, or out of the United States, according to the site.
The cancellations upended some plans but many Americans pushed ahead with holiday travel.
Sidebar: No doubt in weeks to come we'll read about these Americans who "pushed ahead" in regards to new Covid statistics!

AND boy are we seeing the numbers skyrocketing!
