What's happening
There are major delays in effect at Austin (AUS) because of runway work or closures. Flights are averaging 1h 5m late, with the worst up to 3h 3m. It started around 2:21 PM ET.
Why
Runway work or a closed runway leaves fewer places to land and take off. The stated reason: "runway construction".
Who's affected most
Austin is a hub for Southwest, so delays here ripple into flights that never touch AUS, especially later in the day.
What to do
- Check your flight in your airline's app before leaving for the airport.
- If your flight is cancelled and you decline the rebooking, U.S. rules entitle you to a cash refund, not a voucher.
