Southwest Airlines continued to apologize and promise a return to normalcy Friday after days of delays. Meanwhile, stranded passengers were finally able to reunite with their luggage at the Salt Lake City International Airport on Friday.

Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson lists some of the best ways to help get you home if you find yourself facing flight delays, cancellations or other travel nightmares.

Houston led the nation in Misery Sunday, and it had little to do with the Texans. Flight-tracking service FlightAware's MiseryMap tallied 56 flights scheduled to depart from George Bush Intercontinental Sunday between noon and 4 p.m. that were delayed and two that were cancelled. That means nearly half of the flights scheduled during that period offered travelers a miserable experience. An additional nine flights from the smaller Hobby Airport were delayed during that period.

There were nearly 70 flights delayed through Boston as of around 8 p.m. Sunday, according to FlightAware's MiseryMap, in addition to a couple of cancellations.

Parking at Tampa International Airport is cheaper online. The airport reports few delays and cancellations this Thanksgiving holiday.

More than 1,400 flights going into, out of and within the U.S. were canceled on Friday as the year comes to a close with snarled travel due to the impact of COVID-19 and the omicron variant on airlines and their crews.
