Your travel plans might be in trouble. The ongoing U.S. government shutdown is causing airport chaos nationwide, with over 3 million passengers facing delays or cancellations this week alone. Why? Thousands of air traffic controllers are working without pay—and many are calling out sick, creating a staffing crisis. 🚨
At Miami International Airport, scenes of frustration unfolded as travelers scrambled to rebook flights. One passenger told reporters: "This feels like a bad sequel to ‘Home Alone’—except no one’s laughing." ✈️😤
While politicians debate budgets, the ripple effect is real: fewer controllers mean slower security lines, delayed departures, and crowded terminals. Experts warn the situation could worsen if the shutdown continues. 📉
For globetrotters and business travelers, this is a red alert. Always check your flight status, arrive early, and pack patience (and snacks!). 🧳🍫
