Local impact of Southwest Airlines cancellations
Southwest Airlines cancellations have continued to affect travel across the U.S. The cancellations were prompted by severe winter weather, according to the airline.
Southwest Airlines announced the cancellation of nearly 70% of outgoing flights, with many departing flights marked as "unavailable" until December 31.
According to FlightAware, the airline cancellations have hit close to home with a total of 25 cancellations and 47 delays out of Palm Springs International Airport.
Many travelers have noted that they were not properly notified of their canceled or delayed flights, leaving many with no choice but to find alternative routes to make it back home after the holidays.
