Here's How Long it Could Take Travel to Get Back to Normal After Winter Storm

More than 11,000 flights have been cancelled due to widespread winter storms throughout the United States — and experts say things aren't going to necessarily get better anytime soon.

Thrust Flight CEO Patrick Arnzen explained in a statement shared with Men's Journal that travelers will have to be patient as airlines begin testing out weather conditions. "A major winter storm can shut down travel in a matter of hours, but it can take days to clear the backlog of canceled and delayed flights," he said.
