The Memorial Day holiday weekend is proving a messy one for many airlines, with carriers canceling thousands of flights worldwide, including hundreds in the US on Monday. <\/p>\n

On Monday, 1,634 flights had been canceled as of 11:52 pm ET, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. That followed roughly 1,640 cancellations on Sunday, 1,500 on Saturday and 2,300 on Friday. More than 400 of Monday’s cancellations involved aircraft scheduled to fly to or from US cities.<\/p>\n

Delta Air Lines canceled the most flights among major US airlines, scratching 133 flights on Monday, or 4% of its operations, according to FlightAware. The carrier was forced to cancel more than 400 flights on Saturday and Sunday. <\/p>\n

@Delta<\/a> why did you cancel a flight this morning without giving a reason. Also why did you rebook my family with a baby and a five year old on connecting flights and all sitting separately? My 1 year old can’t sit by himself or make a 6:30 am flight! Make this right!<\/p>\n

@Delta<\/a> when did your service get so bad. You canceled my flight from Dublin to JFK today. You rebooked me on another flight tomorrow from Paris but didn’t provide me with a flight to get to Paris. 12 hours trying to fix this now. 4 agents. Been disconnected multiple times.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s cancellations were due to bad weather and “air traffic control actions,” Atlanta-based Delta said in an email to The Associated Press, noting it’s trying to cancel flights at least 24 hours in advance of the Memorial Day weekend. Delta told CBS News that “around 90%” of its customers who had a canceled flight Sunday were rebooked on a flight “later in the day.”<\/p>\n
