Stranded at the airport: FAA ground stop derails travel plans
A USA Today article reports that the FAA's nationwide ground stop on Nov. 13, 2026 — lifted after more than four hours — stranded travelers and disrupted thousands of flights through Saturday, with FlightAware citing over 10,000 delayed or canceled flights. Stranded passengers scrambled for hotels, rebookings, and long rental-car drives home, while FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford expected full schedules to return by Sunday, Nov. 15.
