DALLAS (KRLD) — Once again today, thousands of flights across the US have been canceled, and Southwest Airlines is leading the list.

Most of the airlines are being buffeted by one blow after another from the weather and from COVID-19 staffing issues.

Total US cancellations today number more than 4,000 and over 500 of those are Southwest flights.

However, most of the cancellations and delays are not at Dallas Love Field but at other big Southwest hubs.

Because of another winter storm blasting the eastern seaboard, the hardest hit airports today include Reagan International in Washington D.C., LaGuardia and JFK in New York, Logan in Boston and Newark Liberty in New Jersey.
