Cancellations have been minimal at Bush Intercontinental Airport, a total of six in the last 24 hours, compared to much larger numbers at other U.S. airports. "I’ve talked with a lot of coworkers, and they’ve had a lot more delays," says Kim Nelson who arrived to Houston from Atlanta. "They’re flying Delta and American there. So a lot more." Travelers we spoke to were prepared for several weather advisories for the region. But many of them have expired, making flying easier.

"It was as smooth as can be," says Laurie Jussman from Iowa. "We were surprised that we even arrived 20 minutes early."At 5:15pm, an unidentified man was handcuffed by officers and escorted out of the airport.
