Dallas Storm Disrupts Travel: Flights Delayed, Canceled As Flyers Complain

Numerous flights to and from Dallas, Texas, faced significant delays or cancellations due to severe thunderstorms in the region, impacting operations at both the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and the Dallas Love Field Airport.

In response to the disruptions, the Dallas Love Field Airport posted on X, “Storms are currently causing flight disruptions at DAL. Stay informed about flight delays and cancellations by contacting your airline directly.”

Similarly, the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport alerted passengers to potential severe weather.

“There’s potential for severe weather in our area this evening! Make sure to check with your airline for any potential changes to your flight arrival or departure,” a post on X said.

Expressing their frustrations, several passengers turned to social media to voice their concerns.

“American Airlines. 2 hour delay from Austin to Dallas. Missing our connection to Barcelona. What a joke. Better get some compensation in the form of a first class seat,” one person wrote.

“Ugh flight from Salt Lake to Dallas delayed which means I’m going to arrive in Dallas half an hour AFTER my flight from London is due to leave. Sick of everything today and if I have to spend an unplanned night in DALLAS I stg,” another wrote.

A third person complained, “The plane that is scheduled to leave FROM Dallas at 7:15 isn’t arriving IN Dallas until 7:59. @AmericanAir may be time to delay AA726 an hour or so.”

Meanwhile, as of 6 p.m. EDT, Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Watches were in place for parts of North and Central Texas. The NWS Fort Worth issued a warning about flash flooding risks.

“The Flash Flooding threat is also increasing as the storms move into eastern portions of Central Texas. Saturated soils will lead to quick runoff. If you experience flooded roads, make sure to Turn Around, Don’t Drown,” the agency said.
