Fuck Joe Biden did tell us The problem is, he didn't say how low.

If you are going to fly these days you may want to familiarize yourself with hub and spoke organization of airlines (except Southwest which does not do this).

• Connect through your nearest hub so you have option to take yourself home if needs be.
• Connect at airports closer to your destination than you are so you are not in a worse position
• if you are on a schedule (wedding, funeral...) then consider paying for a refundable ticket (check the rules!) So you have cash to drive if your flight is canceled.
• mimize connections to reduce exposure to chance of cancelation
• storms are an issue in Dallas in the summer
• direct flights are ideal even if they cost more (but can still be canceled)
• budget extra time if possible

I don't know if travel insurance is a scam. My guess is that it is.
