DEGREES BELOW ZERO, AND THESE STORMS COULD CAUSE DELAYS FOR CONNECTING FLIGHTS OUT OF THE SUNPORT. THAT’S WHERE WE FIND PEYTON SPELLACY THIS MORNING WITH WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS. IF YOUR FLIGHT IS AFFECTED. HEY, PEYTON. GOOD MORNING, TODD AND ROYALE. LUCKILY, WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF THOSE ISSUES THAT YOU WERE JUST MENTIONING THERE. I ACTUALLY WAS ON FLIGHTAWARE YESTERDAY. THERE’S ONLY ABOUT 24 DELAYED FLIGHTS HERE AT SUNPORT, AND NO CANCELLATIONS. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THESE BOARDS RIGHT HERE TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON. AS YOU CAN SEE WE’RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.
