Some airport unions, like CLT and JFK, used the holiday weekend to highlight their demands.
David Koenig, AP Airlines WriterThe patience of Memorial Day weekend travelers was tested Thursday by widespread delays across the country, but there were relatively few canceled flights, raising hopes that airlines can handle bigger crowds expected Friday.
"Airports are going to be more packed than we have seen in 20 years," said Aixa Diaz, a spokesperson for AAA.At Chicago's O'Hare Airport, Larisa Latimer of New Lenox, Illinois, said her airfare was reasonable but other expenses for a getaway to New Orleans were not. "I'm really conscious of looking at the cost of the entire trip. We're staying a little farther out than we normally would" to get a lower hotel rate, she said. "We're also flying back a day later, because we could get cheaper miles."
