There were 868 cancellations of flights into, out of or within the United States on Sunday, accounting for 3% of those total scheduled journeys, according to Houston-based FlightAware.

Sunday’s cancellations followed other recent, challenging travel days: Saturday (633 cancellations), Friday (709), Thursday (878) and Wednesday (1,403), the data showed.

This past weekend’s airport misery actually marked a slight improvement from the previous week when there were 1,480 cancellations on June 17, 876 on June 18 and 913 on June 19.
