Maps of the Delta and United cuts loaded so far, as interpreted from the FlightAware cancels reports.
Not all frequencies on these routes, and decent chance things continue to shift. But this is what I'm seeing right now.

I don't know exactly what "PCT ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGER" means for the FAA, but reports have the TRACON evacuating and going ATC ZERO, triggering these ground stops, plus others in the region.
Good luck out there, folks.

Many airports are not inside their city limits but are so named after the largest and most recognizable city nearby, especially if it’s the only one. Are IAD, DCA, BWI, RDU, RIC, SFO, etc all misnamed?

Refusing to fly United SUCKS when you’re traveling out of IAD, but I’ll take a connecting flight if I have to in order to avoid them. That’s how bad it’s been.
Once, going Austin → IAD → RIC, they stranded us in IAD. We ended up doing a one-way car rental.

IAD-AUS does that to me every time. Apparently I did just enough RIC/IAD-DFW in my impressionable college/post-college flying years that my brain thinks that's what flying to Texas should be.
But it's not, because Texas is large and DFW is in the closest corner of it to me.

Would America have been safer under President Kamala Harris?
