It appears the American Airlines technical glitch has been resolved, with passengers saying they have started to board planes.
But after about an hour-long US-wide groundstop for all of the major airline’s planes, there’s a lot of travel time to catch up on.
So far the FAA is showing no major delays at US airports, but we’ll wait to see how that plays out.
Here on the East Coast it’s just after 08:20 and many residents are waking up to another potential problem for travel – a clipper system has brought in winter weather with a fair bit of snow about.
And over on the West Coast, a bomb cyclone has delivered heavy rain, mountain snow and high winds to some areas.
For those travelling today, it may not be a merry Christmas.
