US flight delays and FAA ground stops
The FAA’s own word on every US airport it is holding or slowing, beside our live departures board for the biggest. What it means for your flight, and what to do.
No ground stops or delay programs listed. The national airspace is running normally.

What to do about your flight
Short, and true for US flights. Not legal advice.
Check before you leave
Your airline’s app knows first. Don’t head to the airport on this morning’s times.
Cancelled? Cash back
If the airline cancels and you don’t take the new flight, US rules say you get your money back, not a voucher.
Meals and hotels
Weather and air traffic control aren’t the airline’s fault, so these usually aren’t owed then. Ask anyway, and keep every receipt.
Rebook in the app
The desk queue is the slow way. Rebook in the app, or call while you queue.
Pushback · free on iPhone and Android
Know before the airline tells you.
- Your flight on one board, and the gate the moment it’s given
- Where your plane is coming from, and whether it will be late
- A nudge when anything moves, and what you may be owed
The phone shows an example flight, not a live one. More about Pushback →
