Airlines have cancelled more than 1,000 US flights during the peak Christmas travel period on Friday, with severe winter storm warnings and heavy snow forecast across parts of the Midwest and northeast, said media reports. A total of 3,974 flights were delayed across the country.
More than 10,000 flights across the US set to take off over the weekend were canceled as a monster storm started to wreak havoc on Saturday across much of the country and threatened to knock out power for days and snarl major roadways with dangerous ice.
