Much of the nation's airspace was a mess, with a combination of staffing shortages and high winds leading to major delays.
The Federal Aviation Administration said staffing shortages contributed to ground delays at a number of airports, including Boston, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, New York, and Newark, New Jersey.
while high winds limited operations around New York City and Washington, D.C.
That combination made for one of the worst days to fly since the government shutdown began a month ago.
Air traffic controllers are required to work without pay until the shutdown ends.
They missed their first full paycheck earlier this week.

Flights have been delayed at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
The FAA says that's because of a staffing shortage at the facility that manages arriving and departing traffic.
It's the latest disruption at facilities that were already critically short of air traffic controllers before the shutdown.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says those disruptions could get worse when next Tuesday's payday arrives and controllers receive no money.
The FAA has been able to pay air traffic control trainees at its academy in Oklahoma City so far, but Duffy says that funding could run out in a matter of weeks.
