Domestic airlines are on pace to record the worst year of flight cancellations since 2001.
By the end of the third quarter of 2011, more than 104,000 flights have been scrubbed. This represents an almost 2.5% of all flights scheduled.
Reasons vary. Beside the normal menu of weather related situations which have been eventful this year, and "mechanicals" are new tarmac delay rules that prohibit airlines from delays over 3 hours on the tarmac. Airlines opt to cancel flights than risk huge penalties amounting to thousands per passenger.
Booking flights online is simple enough and straight-forward for point to point itineraries. Relying on a reputable travel management company to be there for you when you encounter complications is a must for business and mission critical clients.
