Last month, 49,000 flights were canceled by U.S. carriers, while another 300,000 failed to take off on time, says masFlight, a data and software firm that focuses on air travel. Those scuttled and delayed flights disrupted the travel plans of roughly 30 million fliers, and cost them over $2.5 billion in lost work time, and out of pocket costs for everything from meals to an extra night's hotel stay, according to masFlight's estimates.
"It's one for the record books,'' masFlight's CEO Josh Marks said of January's massive number of canceled and delayed flights. "Virtually every major hub from (the) eastern and central United States, with the exception of Miami, was impacted by the weather and caused a systemic impact we haven't seen before.''

(NYSE:FUN) take notice, but could force even the venerable Disney to turn its head.
