Travelers hoping to enjoy one last summer fling over Labor Day weekend should expect lots of company

By some measures, air travelers have enjoyed a less stressful summer than last year, but canceled flights remain elevated as airlines face their last big test of the prime vacation season: Labor Day weekend.

Airlines canceled several dozen flights in Florida and Georgia scheduled for Thursday but very few for Friday, according to tracking service FlightAware. AAA said bookings for domestic travel — flights, hotels, rental cars, and cruises — are running 4% higher than Labor Day last year. TSA figures show that the number of travelers going through US airport checkpoints in August is 2% higher than in August 2019, before the pandemic.
