Stacey Sunday, Director of Communications at Reno-Tahoe International Airport suggests travelers "make sure their cellphone is charged so that you are getting airline alerts in case anything changes. I recommend you bring snacks just in case lines are long and you're getting hungry," she says

Nearly 2,000 of the 5,000 affected flights were in the US.
