Like many companies worldwide, Delta was impacted on Friday morning by an outside vendor technology issue, which prompted us to pause flying while our systems were offline. The pause in our operation resulted in more than 3,500 Delta and Delta Connection flights cancelled through Saturday. Cancellations continue on Sunday as Delta’s teams work to recover our systems and restore our operation. Canceling a flight is always a last resort, and something we don’t take lightly.

Got a little antsy wanderlust? You can save up to 75 percent (holy cow) on base airfare with Frontier Airlines Primetime Deal if you buy by July 18, with the deadline of a minute before midnight, eastern time. You might want to get your act together and book it, because you’ll regret later that you didn’t. Plus, if you buy an Economy, Premium, or Business bundle ticket—one step up from the basic fare—there are zero change fees or cancellation fees, so it makes sense to buy something and then reconfigure it.
