JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Travelers hitting the skies felt some delays at the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport on Memorial Day.

Across the nation, travelers experienced delays and flight cancellations due to staffing shortages.

“It’s been hard because online it says I have seats. I’m supposed to already be in security,” said traveler Mary Gray White.

For one traveler, she said she’s had no issues with her flight.

“It’s been amazing, actually. It’s been comfortable. I mean, minus all the time, but it’s pretty good,” says traveler Brittanii Molina.

AAA estimated three million Americans would be traveling by air over the weekend.
