It’s holiday travel time and millions of people will be jamming the airport parking lots in an effort to find parking, then dash to the terminal and speed through TSA lines and eventually fly off to distant cities to visit loved ones, or just go on a vacation.

Below are links for all the area airports so you can check on arriving and departing flights. We’ve included links to check on waiting times in the TSA lanes. And if you want to track a flight, there’s a link for that too. Driving? There are some helpful links.

But no app could have helped the start of this years travel headaches.

Last weekends snowstorm started the downward spiral of travel delays. Frontier airlines had a major meltdown that began at their Denver Hub. The weather wrecked havoc with air travel. That, combined with numerous Frontier baggage handlers calling in sick, left thousands of passengers and crew stranded at airports around the country.

Days later and the airline is still trying to recover. Stranded Frontier passengers are being offered refunds, but many will be unable to get to their destinations for days, as flights on other airlines are at capacity.

What’s worse is another round of bad weather is in the forecast for this coming weekend which could lead to more delays and cancellations.
