Across the U.S., travelers have been frustrated and fed up with long delays and short explanations from the airlines.
Severe weather on Sunday caused headaches for flyers across the Northeast.
Over 2,600 flights have been canceled and close to 7,900 have been delayed across the United States Sunday, according to data from FlightAware. Airports across the Northeast are seeing the majority of the disruptions, as thunderstorms hit the region throughout the day, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport is experiencing the most significant cancellations, with 362 flights being canceled and 337 flights experiencing delays, according to FlightAware.
Of the 90,000 flights scheduled for the rest of July and August, British budget airline EasyJet has canceled around 1,700 flights, per Reuters.
The travel surge comes as the federal government is considering new protections for air travelers who get stuck with delays or cancellations.
