Cold weather has forced thousands of flights to be cancelled across the U.S., leaving many travelers frustrated for yet another day.
The tracking website Flightaware.com estimates more than 2,000 flights were cancelled nationwide as of Sunday afternoon and more than 6,000 flights were delayed. That follows two days of similarly difficult travel conditions.
Cold weather has affected much of the country, but hit Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport particularly hard. The airport said more than 400 departures were cancelled Sunday. It is also still trying to clear out thousands of travelers who have been sleeping at the terminals or in nearby hotels waiting for a flight out since Thursday night.
To ease the pain, the airport has been giving away free coffee, sandwiches and other treats. It also has brought in entertainment to the terminals, including musicians, comedians and balloon artists.
"We are trying to keep the mood light and do everything we can to make sure that our passengers have as good an experience as possible given the situation," airport spokesman David Magana said.
