 WASHINGTON (AP) - Anyone who took an early flight for a Memorial Day getaway has already gotten a taste of what summer air travel will be like: full planes, crowded airports and weather delays.
Airlines said they carried more passengers than usual Thursday, the kickoff of the summer season. Flights were delayed to some of the biggest airports — Chicago O'Hare, Boston Logan, Newark, N.J., New York LaGuardia and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
"We had small pockets of weather to contend with in the Northeast and some wind at O'Hare, but overall we got off to a good start," said FAA spokesman Greg Martin.
