United Airlines and Others Cancel Dozens of Flights Scheduled for Christmas Eve Amid COVID Outbreak

With the onset of the Omicron COVID variant – United Airlines has already cancelled dozens of flights scheduled for Friday, Christmas Eve.

Per the CBS bulletin, an airline spokesperson said that there was an outbreak of COVID-19 among the crew.

Other recent reports coming in on Thursday night also name Delta and Alaska Air as susceptible to this Omicron cancellation wave.

While the best bit of advice is to check your local listings — for now both American Air and Southwest Air seem to be surviving the holiday rush.

Generally speaking, the busiest travel days of the Christmas season are December 23 and January 3. Pandemic pandemonium aside, these two dates represent the usual beginnings and ends of the holiday break.
