"Every year, without fail, the US experiences at least one major disruption in air travel due to severe weather, government shutdowns, software outages, or power outages."
"A partial government shutdown has meant that thousands of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers have not been paid for several weeks, causing many to call out of work or quit."
"Wanderu is my go-to search aggregator for travel by bus or train, looking up the schedules and prices across several bus and train operators."
"If you aren't sure whether you want to travel by land or air, head to Omio, which finds routes by plane, bus, and train."
The US faces annual disruptions in air travel due to various factors, including government shutdowns and severe weather. Currently, a partial government shutdown has led to unpaid TSA workers, resulting in long security lines and chaos at airports. Alternative travel options, such as buses and trains, are encouraged due to high flight costs and environmental concerns. Travel search apps like Wanderu and Omio help users compare routes and prices, facilitating informed decisions for land or air travel.
