Wildfires in the Los Angeles area are affecting travel and leading to the closure of several attractions. Flights to and from Southern California have been disrupted, primarily at Hollywood Burbank Airport, where 19% of flights were canceled and 13% delayed as of Wednesday afternoon. Los Angeles International Airport is experiencing minimal disruption.

A traveler from Denver shared a video on X showing the Palisades fire from above. His flight was diverted to LAX due to turbulence caused by strong winds. LA Ontario International Airport also reported around 10% flight cancellations.
