It’s been a tough week for travelers with widespread cancellations and delays after an IT issue disrupted the flight operations for some of the largest airlines in the world. Delta Airlines, in particular, has struggled to recover. Thousands of its flights have been canceled or delayed over the last few days, and the U.S. Department of Transportation launched an investigation into the airline as a result of passenger complaints.
