Airports in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are set to face significant flight reductions starting Friday, just two weeks before the busy Thanksgiving travel period. This decision, attributed to the ongoing government shutdown, could lead to increased travel disruptions and frustration for holiday travelers. With many people relying on air travel to reunite with family and friends during this peak season, the impact of these cuts is likely to be felt widely, raising concerns about the overall travel experience during one of the busiest times of the year.
