BREAKING NEWS Another major airport hit with massive delays after system outages and equipment failures at Newark and Atlanta
Planes at the airport in Austin, Texas were delayed for up to an hour and a half Sunday because of chronic understaffing at the FAA's air traffic control tower, reported KUT News.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has little more than half of the air traffic controllers the government says it's supposed to have.
This follows major problems Newark Airport, which has been hit with massive delays for two weeks.
The incidents are the latest in a long line of disasters that the Trump administration blames on 'antiquated' FAA systems.
Radar screens went dark at the New York City area hub early Friday during a close call that nearly became a midair disaster.
Separately, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International issued a ground stop on Mother's Day due to equipment failure.
As of January, only 32 of the required 60 positions were filled at Austin's airport, staffing records showed.
The nightmare delays in the Texas capitol delays lasted for about three hours Sunday until the understaffed controllers were able to get a handle on traffic.
Incoming flights were impacted by the staffing, the FAA confirmed to the Austin American Statesman.
Travelers were advised to check departure times.

Delta and United airlines face class action suits for selling window seats
United and Delta Airlines are being sued by passengers who say they paid extra for window seats — only to be seated next to a barren wall during their flight. The proposed class action lawsuits, filed in federal courts Tuesday seek millions of dollars in damages for over one million customers who rode on each airline. While some Boeing 737, Boeing 757 and Airbus A321 planes have rows entirely without windows due to air conditioning ducts or other systems — Delta and United do not flag this to customers purchasing 'window seats,' the complaint claims. United and Delta charge hundreds of dollars for such seats and make no mention that they are without windows. Meanwhile, their competitors, American and Alaska Airlines, inform their customers that these types of seats do not have a window while booking, Reuters reported. The lawsuit notes that passengers often buy window seats for specific reasons, including for extra light or legroom, to occupy children or to calm traveling anxieties. United and Delta did not immediately return requests for comment from The Independent. 'A large proportion of airline travelers prefer window seats, and are willing to pay extra money to obtain them. For many, it is a special experience to see the world from 30,000 feet, or to watch a descent into LaGuardia,' each lawsuit states, according to The Hill. 'Windows can captivate or distract an antsy child. Many people have a fear of flying, or get claustrophobic or motion sick on planes, and windows give them a greater level of comfort in an otherwise stressful environment,' they continue. 'Others just want a burst of sunlight to brighten their days.' United and Delta, like many other airlines, offer basic fares that do not include seat selection. Passengers must pay extra to choose their seat, and some windowless rows are in upgraded sections. Both complaints specifically note that had the plaintiffs known the seats they were purchasing — and paying extra for — were windowless, they wouldn't have selected them. The Delta lawsuit was filed by Nicholas Meyer of Brooklyn, New York, while the United suit is led by Marc Brenman of San Francisco and Aviva Copaken of Los Angeles. While customers can do research online to see if their seat is without a window, Carter Greenbaum, a lawyer whose firm filed both lawsuits, told Reuters that doesn't excuse the airlines' bad behavior. 'A company can't misrepresent the nature of the products it sells and then rely on third party reviews to say a customer should have known that it was lying,' Greenbaum said.

Woman sparks debate after slamming stranger who refused to watch her bag in the airport
A debate over airport etiquette has once again taken flight, after a woman lashed out at a fellow passenger unwilling to watch her belongings while she used the bathroom. Cara O'Bannon, 25, was waiting to board her flight to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, from Tampa International Airport in Florida when she needed to use the restroom. Not wanting to take her carry-on suitcase and purse into the bathroom, Cara asked a woman also sitting near her gate if she could watch her belongings. However, she was shocked when the stranger refused. 'I fully expected her to say "yes,"' the traveler admitted in a now-viral video shared to TikTok. 'And she goes... "No, you should honestly take it with you."' Cara said the bathroom was only a 'few steps away' and could be seen from the gate. 'I can see from here, a few steps away from where we're sitting. I've never been so caught off guard,' she continued. 'So I fully thought she was going to be like, "Yeah, that's fine. Go ahead and go." Like, our plane's about to board,' the bamboozled woman continued. 'She fully said, "No,"' Cara said in disbelief. Despite saying it was 'fine' that the woman didn't want to watch her belongings, she hit out at the stranger for not being more helpful. 'You don't have to watch it, but I'm not going to take all my belongings a few steps away when you're already sitting here, and you could just watch it,' Cara said indignantly. While Cara found the woman's actions odd, TikTok viewers flooded her comments assuring her that it was actually a normal reaction. 'This is like the first rule of the airport. Don't leave unattended luggage ever. Don't watch other's luggage. This is common sense I fear,' one user shared. 'I had two kids, a stroller, and two heavy packed full backpacks and didn't even think of asking someone to watch my stuff,' wrote another. Someone else shared a cautionary tale, stating: 'I asked someone to watch my stuff and when I left she reported it abandoned and the agents took my bag… lesson learned.' 'There's actually a loud announcement in the airport typically that tells you not to leave your bag anywhere and to report any bag that is left unattended...' pointed out a different person. In general, it's not advised to look after or travel with stranger's bags or luggage you have not packed yourself. AAA Club Alliance noted in their travel guidance section to beware of 'luggage scams.' 'Fraudsters may distract you to steal or plant items in your bag, or they may offer to carry your luggage, only to disappear with it,' it wrote. In a 2018 response on X, formerly known as Twitter, Ask TSA answered someone who asked if you should watch a stranger's luggage at the airport if they ask - saying no. 'Passengers should maintain control over their own items and property at all times,' the organization wrote. 'Please report these concerns to local law enforcements.' Cara's video comes after the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued an urgent warning to US travelers over a new scam targeting people in a rush to get through airport security. The new trick is designed to steal sensitive information and money from helpless travelers. The TSA took to Facebook earlier this summer warning people who are signing up for its PreCheck service. 'Signing up for TSA PreCheck? Make sure you're using a safe and trusted .gov website,' the post read. It also included the official link. The Federal Trade Commission further explained the potential scam on its website. 'No one likes waiting in airport security lines. To speed things up, some people opt to get TSA PreCheck,' the website reads. 'Scammers know this and send emails that look like they're from TSA PreCheck — but they're not. 'The emails want you to click a link that takes you to a scam website that only looks like the official site - but it's not.' The FTC continued: 'If you pay to "enroll" or "renew" your TSA PreCheck, you may not even realize you've paid a scammer until you get to the airport for your next trip.'

Luke Donald's Ryder Cup master plan: chartered planes and sleepovers
It is no coincidence that Rory McIlroy has called winning an away Ryder Cup match 'golf's new Everest' and that captain Luke Donald has planned a preparatory mission employing the same fundamentals as those expeditions taking on the most demanding climb of all. 'Reconnaissance and acclimatisation' are listed as the basic requirements for the scale and so the blue and gold brigade will head out for a whole week of groundwork before the biennial tussle in New York next month, determined to not only be fully briefed on the challenge that awaits but also to be completely refreshed. Of course, it has become a staple for Ryder Cup captains to lead their men on fact-finding missions ahead of the big showdown. Yet never before have a visiting side undertaken their two-day inspection behind enemy lines so close to the start of hostilities. Donald has revealed that a plane has been chartered to fly from London on the evening of Sunday, 15 September, immediately after the BMW PGA Championship has concluded and has let it be known that he wants his 12 golfers to stay on in the country until they assemble at the New York team hotel on Monday, September 23. There will be no excuses for being ring-rusty – as the Americans were two years ago – no accusations of being underprepared and certainly no chance of using the time difference as a reason for any shortfall. 'For me, it would be ideal to stay in the United States rather than go back and forth and deal with jet-lag,' Donald said at the British Masters on Wednesday. 'The plan is nine holes on Monday and 18 holes on Tuesday and then I think we will see the groups hanging out together. 'Some of the players live over there and will want to go back to their homes but there will definitely be a chance for some of them to hang out for a two-week period. We have plans in place for where they will stay.' With qualification concluding at the Belfry this week, and Donald naming his wildcards on September 1, the definitive dozen is still be decided, but it is expected that about a third of the team will not have a fixed US abode, including Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Bob MacIntyre and Rasmus Hojgaard. There is the possibility that the likes of Rory McIlroy will put up close friends such as Rose and Fleetwood, although as Donald, himself a neighbour of McIlroy's, explained it is uncomfortably warm and humid in Florida at this time of the year and they may embark on golf trips elsewhere in the US. Whatever comes to pass, Donald must be confident of what this plan will do for team unity as they attempt to become only the second team in nine matches to prevail on foreign soil. Although, as Matt Fitzpatrick pointed out, the probability of there being the same 12 faces in the Europe team room as two years ago will help to further cement the camaraderie. 'In that sense, I would say that would be a very good thing,' Fitzpatrick said.
