Thousands of flights, meantime, all throughout the U.S. canceled travelers facing increasing disruptions at airport staffing shortages because of the government shutdown. Fox's Madison Scarpino @ Hartfield Jackson International in Atlanta.

[Madison Scarpino]

Air traffic controllers, TSA agents, they're not getting paid right now with the government shutdown. So many aren't showing up to work. They're taking side jobs trying to just put food on the table for their families. And with all that, federal transportation officials want travelers to be Safe. They cut 4% of their flights at 40 of the nation's biggest airports. And it's likely only going to get worse with gradually eliminating 10% of flights by Friday. Airlines thankfully are promising to refund passengers whose flights are disrupted. Or if passengers just decide, hey, I.

Don'T want to take the risk, Fox's Madison Scarpino. Meantime, chaos at the airports could mean more drivers on the road for Thanksgiving. The U.S. travel association and early 500 tourism organizations. Nearly 500 organizations and companies are warning of a potential Thanksgiving travel meltdown if the government shutdown drags on. Last year, Triple A Projected more than 49 million folks will be driving 20, 25 likely to be just as busy.
