Thousands more were delayed on all three days.\nEnjoli Rodriguez, 25, whose Delta Air Lines Inc. flight from Los Angeles to Lexington, Kentucky, was canceled on Christmas Eve due to COVID-related staffing shortages, was one of the thousands still stranded on Sunday.\nDelta rebooked Rodriguez on an early afternoon flight that connected in Detroit, but that flight was delayed by hours so she missed the connection to Lexington.\nSpeaking from the Detroit airport on Sunday, Rodriguez said she was surrounded by angry passengers, flustered airline representatives and families with young children in limbo as several flights were either canceled or delayed.\n\"I’ve run into a lot of people sharing their horror stories here. We’re all just stuck in Michigan, Detroit, heading different places,” Rodriguez told Reuters. She was rebooked on a later flight to Kentucky that will hopefully end her sleepless, days-long journey.\nThe Christmas holidays, typically a peak time for travel, coincided with a rapid spread of the Omicron variant.\nInfections have risen sharply in many parts of the country, with New York state's health department warning on Friday that it recorded a \"startling\" four-fold increase in COVID-19 hospital admissions for children under 18 since the week beginning Dec. 5.\nWith the surge in infections, airlines have been forced to cancel flights with pilots and cabin crew needing to quarantine. Poor weather in some areas also contributed to the problems.\n\"Winter weather in portions of the U.S. and the Omicron variant continued to impact Delta’s holiday weekend flight schedule,\" a spokesperson for the airline said in an emailed statement, adding that it was working to \"reroute and substitute aircraft and crews to get customers where they need to be as quickly and safely as possible.\"\nA White House official, who asked not to be named, said that despite the mess at some airports, \"we're in a better place than last Christmas\" and noted that \"only a small percentage of flights are affected.\"\n\"But any cancellations can be a pain and delay reunions with family and friends, so the Transportation Department and the FAA are monitoring this closely,\" the official said, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration.\nGlobally, FlightAware data showed that 2,617 flights were called off and more than 10,500 were delayed, as of 3:41 p.m. EST (2041 GMT) on Sunday.\nSTRIKING INCREASE\nUnited Airlines had to cancel around 100 flights on Sunday, a spokesperson said, and added that the company was working to rebook the impacted passengers.\n\"Importantly, 25% of customers whose travel was interrupted were able to rebook on flights that allowed them to get to their final destination earlier than they otherwise would have,\" United spokesperson Maddie King said in an email.\nWinter weather was another factor negatively affecting the flights. A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines said all of their cancellations were weather related.\nThe U.S. airports most heavily impacted by the cancellations were in Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and JFK International in New York.\nOmicron was first detected in November and now accounts for nearly three-quarters of U.S. cases and as many as 90% in some areas, such as the Eastern Seaboard. The average number of new U.S. coronavirus cases has risen 45% to 179,000 per day over the past week, according to a Reuters tally.\nWhile recent research suggests Omicron produces milder illness and a lower rate of hospitalizations than previous iterations, health officials have maintained a cautious outlook and say much remains to be learned about the variant.\nNew York's acting state health commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett said the \"striking increase https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2021/2021-12-24_health_advisory.htm \" in hospitalizations of children with COVID that the state has recorded in the last three weeks showed urgent action was needed.\nAll children older than 5 should be fully vaccinated, she said, while those under 5 should be shielded by ensuring those around them have protection through vaccination, boosters, mask-wearing, avoiding crowds and testing.\n\"The risks of COVID-19 for children are real,\" Bassett said in a statement. The state's health department said the increases were concentrated in New York City and surrounding areas where Omicron is spreading rapidly.\nIt said that in the most recent week, no 5- to 11-year-old admitted to the hospital due to COVID was fully vaccinated.

Poor weather in some areas also contributed to the problems.\n\"Winter weather in portions of the U.S. and the Omicron variant continued to impact Delta’s holiday weekend flight schedule,\" a spokesperson for the airline said in an emailed statement, adding that it was working to \"reroute and substitute aircraft and crews to get customers where they need to be as quickly and safely as possible.\"\nA White House official, who asked not to be named, said that despite the mess at some airports, \"we're in a better place than last Christmas\" and noted that \"only a small percentage of flights are affected.\"\n\"But any cancellations can be a pain and delay reunions with family and friends, so the Transportation Department and the FAA are monitoring this closely,\" the official said, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration.\nGlobally, FlightAware data showed that 2,617 flights were called off and more than 10,500 were delayed, as of 3:41 p.m. EST (2041 GMT) on Sunday.\nSTRIKING INCREASE\nUnited Airlines had to cancel around 100 flights on Sunday, a spokesperson said, and added that the company was working to rebook the impacted passengers.\n\"Importantly, 25% of customers whose travel was interrupted were able to rebook on flights that allowed them to get to their final destination earlier than they otherwise would have,\" United spokesperson Maddie King said in an email.\nWinter weather was another factor negatively affecting the flights.

Thousands more were delayed on all three days.\nEnjoli Rodriguez, 25, whose Delta Air Lines Inc. flight from Los Angeles to Lexington, Kentucky, was canceled on Christmas Eve due to COVID-related staffing shortages, was one of the thousands still stranded on Sunday.\nDelta rebooked Rodriguez on an early afternoon flight that connected in Detroit, but that flight was delayed by hours so she missed the connection to Lexington.\nSpeaking from the Detroit airport on Sunday, Rodriguez said she was surrounded by angry passengers, flustered airline representatives and families with young children in limbo as several flights were either canceled or delayed.\n\"I’ve run into a lot of people sharing their horror stories here. We’re all just stuck in Michigan, Detroit, heading different places,” Rodriguez told Reuters. She was rebooked on a later flight to Kentucky that will hopefully end her sleepless, days-long journey.\nThe Christmas holidays, typically a peak time for travel, coincided with a rapid spread of the Omicron variant.\nInfections have risen sharply in many parts of the country, with New York state's health department warning on Friday that it recorded a \"startling\" four-fold increase in COVID-19 hospital admissions for children under 18 since the week beginning Dec. 5.\nWith the surge in infections, airlines have been forced to cancel flights with pilots and cabin crew needing to quarantine. Poor weather in some areas also contributed to the problems.\n\"Winter weather in portions of the U.S. and the Omicron variant continued to impact Delta’s holiday weekend flight schedule,\" a spokesperson for the airline said in an emailed statement, adding that it was working to \"reroute and substitute aircraft and crews to get customers where they need to be as quickly and safely as possible.\"\nA White House official, who asked not to be named, said that despite the mess at some airports, \"we're in a better place than last Christmas\" and noted that \"only a small percentage of flights are affected.\"\n\"But any cancellations can be a pain and delay reunions with family and friends, so the Transportation Department and the FAA are monitoring this closely,\" the official said, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration.\nGlobally, FlightAware data showed that 2,617 flights were called off and more than 10,500 were delayed, as of 3:41 p.m. EST (2041 GMT) on Sunday.\nSTRIKING INCREASE\nUnited Airlines had to cancel around 100 flights on Sunday, a spokesperson said, and added that the company was working to rebook the impacted passengers.\n\"Importantly, 25% of customers whose travel was interrupted were able to rebook on flights that allowed them to get to their final destination earlier than they otherwise would have,\" United spokesperson Maddie King said in an email.\nWinter weather was another factor negatively affecting the flights. A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines said all of their cancellations were weather related.\nThe U.S. airports most heavily impacted by the cancellations were in Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and JFK International in New York.\nOmicron was first detected in November and now accounts for nearly three-quarters of U.S. cases and as many as 90% in some areas, such as the Eastern Seaboard. The average number of new U.S. coronavirus cases has risen 45% to 179,000 per day over the past week, according to a Reuters tally.\nWhile recent research suggests Omicron produces milder illness and a lower rate of hospitalizations than previous iterations, health officials have maintained a cautious outlook and say much remains to be learned about the variant.\nNew York's acting state health commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett said the \"striking increase https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2021/2021-12-24_health_advisory.htm \" in hospitalizations of children with COVID that the state has recorded in the last three weeks showed urgent action was needed.\nAll children older than 5 should be fully vaccinated, she said, while those under 5 should be shielded by ensuring those around them have protection through vaccination, boosters, mask-wearing, avoiding crowds and testing.\n\"The risks of COVID-19 for children are real,\" Bassett said in a statement.

Thousands more were delayed on all three days.\nEnjoli Rodriguez, 25, whose Delta Air Lines Inc. flight from Los Angeles to Lexington, Kentucky, was canceled on Christmas Eve due to COVID-related staffing shortages, was one of the thousands still stranded on Sunday.\nDelta rebooked Rodriguez on an early afternoon flight that connected in Detroit, but that flight was delayed by hours so she missed the connection to Lexington.\nSpeaking from the Detroit airport on Sunday, Rodriguez said she was surrounded by angry passengers, flustered airline representatives and families with young children in limbo as several flights were either canceled or delayed.\n\"I’ve run into a lot of people sharing their horror stories here. We’re all just stuck in Michigan, Detroit, heading different places,” Rodriguez told Reuters. She was rebooked on a later flight to Kentucky that will hopefully end her sleepless, days-long journey.\nThe Christmas holidays, typically a peak time for travel, coincided with a rapid spread of the Omicron variant.\nInfections have risen sharply in many parts of the country, with New York state's health department warning on Friday that it recorded a \"startling\" four-fold increase in COVID-19 hospital admissions for children under 18 since the week beginning Dec. 5.\nWith the surge in infections, airlines have been forced to cancel flights with pilots and cabin crew needing to quarantine. Poor weather in some areas also contributed to the problems.\n\"Winter weather in portions of the U.S. and the Omicron variant continued to impact Delta’s holiday weekend flight schedule,\" a spokesperson for the airline said in an emailed statement, adding that it was working to \"reroute and substitute aircraft and crews to get customers where they need to be as quickly and safely as possible.\"\nA White House official, who asked not to be named, said that despite the mess at some airports, \"we're in a better place than last Christmas\" and noted that \"only a small percentage of flights are affected.\"\n\"But any cancellations can be a pain and delay reunions with family and friends, so the Transportation Department and the FAA are monitoring this closely,\" the official said, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration.\nGlobally, FlightAware data showed that 2,617 flights were called off and more than 10,500 were delayed, as of 3:41 p.m. EST (2041 GMT) on Sunday.\nSTRIKING INCREASE\nUnited Airlines had to cancel around 100 flights on Sunday, a spokesperson said, and added that the company was working to rebook the impacted passengers.\n\"Importantly, 25% of customers whose travel was interrupted were able to rebook on flights that allowed them to get to their final destination earlier than they otherwise would have,\" United spokesperson Maddie King said in an email.\nWinter weather was another factor negatively affecting the flights. A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines said all of their cancellations were weather related.\nThe U.S. airports most heavily impacted by the cancellations were in Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and JFK International in New York.\nOmicron was first detected in November and now accounts for nearly three-quarters of U.S. cases and as many as 90% in some areas, such as the Eastern Seaboard. The average number of new U.S. coronavirus cases has risen 45% to 179,000 per day over the past week, according to a Reuters tally.\nWhile recent research suggests Omicron produces milder illness and a lower rate of hospitalizations than previous iterations, health officials have maintained a cautious outlook and say much remains to be learned about the variant.\nNew York's acting state health commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett said the \"striking increase https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2021/2021-12-24_health_advisory.htm \" in hospitalizations of children with COVID that the state has recorded in the last three weeks showed urgent action was needed.\nAll children older than 5 should be fully vaccinated, she said, while those under 5 should be shielded by ensuring those around them have protection through vaccination, boosters, mask-wearing, avoiding crowds and testing.\n\"The risks of COVID-19 for children are real,\" Bassett said in a statement.

Thousands more were delayed on all three days.\nEnjoli Rodriguez, 25, whose Delta Air Lines Inc. flight from Los Angeles to Lexington, Kentucky, was canceled on Christmas Eve due to COVID-related staffing shortages, was one of the thousands still stranded on Sunday.\nDelta rebooked Rodriguez on an early afternoon flight that connected in Detroit, but that flight was delayed by hours so she missed the connection to Lexington.\nSpeaking from the Detroit airport on Sunday, Rodriguez said she was surrounded by angry passengers, flustered airline representatives and families with young children in limbo as several flights were either canceled or delayed.\n\"I’ve run into a lot of people sharing their horror stories here. We’re all just stuck in Michigan, Detroit, heading different places,” Rodriguez told Reuters. She was rebooked on a later flight to Kentucky that will hopefully end her sleepless, days-long journey.\nThe Christmas holidays, typically a peak time for travel, coincided with a rapid spread of the Omicron variant.\nInfections have risen sharply in many parts of the country, with New York state's health department warning on Friday that it recorded a \"startling\" four-fold increase in COVID-19 hospital admissions for children under 18 since the week beginning Dec. 5.\nWith the surge in infections, airlines have been forced to cancel flights with pilots and cabin crew needing to quarantine. Poor weather in some areas also contributed to the problems.\n\"Winter weather in portions of the U.S. and the Omicron variant continued to impact Delta’s holiday weekend flight schedule,\" a spokesperson for the airline said in an emailed statement, adding that it was working to \"reroute and substitute aircraft and crews to get customers where they need to be as quickly and safely as possible.\"\nA White House official, who asked not to be named, said that despite the mess at some airports, \"we're in a better place than last Christmas\" and noted that \"only a small percentage of flights are affected.\"\n\"But any cancellations can be a pain and delay reunions with family and friends, so the Transportation Department and the FAA are monitoring this closely,\" the official said, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration.\nGlobally, FlightAware data showed that 2,617 flights were called off and more than 10,500 were delayed, as of 3:41 p.m. EST (2041 GMT) on Sunday.\nSTRIKING INCREASE\nUnited Airlines had to cancel around 100 flights on Sunday, a spokesperson said, and added that the company was working to rebook the impacted passengers.\n\"Importantly, 25% of customers whose travel was interrupted were able to rebook on flights that allowed them to get to their final destination earlier than they otherwise would have,\" United spokesperson Maddie King said in an email.\nWinter weather was another factor negatively affecting the flights. A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines said all of their cancellations were weather related.\nThe U.S. airports most heavily impacted by the cancellations were in Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and JFK International in New York.\nOmicron was first detected in November and now accounts for nearly three-quarters of U.S. cases and as many as 90% in some areas, such as the Eastern Seaboard. The average number of new U.S. coronavirus cases has risen 45% to 179,000 per day over the past week, according to a Reuters tally.\nWhile recent research suggests Omicron produces milder illness and a lower rate of hospitalizations than previous iterations, health officials have maintained a cautious outlook and say much remains to be learned about the variant.\nNew York's acting state health commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett said the \"striking increase https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2021/2021-12-24_health_advisory.htm \" in hospitalizations of children with COVID that the state has recorded in the last three weeks showed urgent action was needed.\nAll children older than 5 should be fully vaccinated, she said, while those under 5 should be shielded by ensuring those around them have protection through vaccination, boosters, mask-wearing, avoiding crowds and testing.\n\"The risks of COVID-19 for children are real,\" Bassett said in a statement. The state's health department said the increases were concentrated in New York City and surrounding areas where Omicron is spreading rapidly.\nIt said that in the most recent week, no 5- to 11-year-old admitted to the hospital due to COVID was fully vaccinated. It did not give details on the overall number of hospitalizations, or the severity of the cases.in a statement.
