Across the United States more than 2,700 flights were canceled and an additional 237 flights were delayed, according to FlightAware. 

Traveling in the skies was expected to increase over the holiday weekend as DIA officials were anticipating travel numbers that would near or exceed pre-pandemic numbers.
