10 flights canceled at RDU Monday morning

More flight cancellations are impacting travelers at Raleigh-Durham International Airport and across the country Monday morning.

Around a dozen flights were canceled at RDU as of 5 a.m., when more than 400 were canceled across the country. Storms in Florida have slowed flights coming in, and Southwest Airlines experienced a technology issue over the weekend that is causing lingering delays.

A spokesperson for Southwest said the airline experienced "intermittent technology issues that occurred during overnight maintenance."

There is improvement from Sunday, when more than 3,000 flights were canceled nationwide, according to FlightAware.

Airlines are encouraging travelers to check their flight status, including any connecting flights, before venturing to the airport Monday morning.

It's always a best practice to check flight status – whether you are traveling or expecting someone who is – on the WRAL Flight Tracker.
