5 Airports=1838 Flight Cancellations Yesterday

Heads up (again) if you are flying today. Confirm your flight and its departure time in advance. The logistics of the system are a mess.

That's primarily because yesterday's snowstorm whacked operations at the three New York airports, and the two closest major airports, Philly and Boston.

In all, 1838 flights were canceled yesterday at those five airports, according to Flightstats.com.

The hilariously named Newark Liberty International Airport racked up 547 canceled flights. At LaGuardia, it was 456. Kennedy had 266. The rest were about evenly divided between Philadelphia and Boston.
