DALLAS - Airlines are shifting thousands of flight times, and adding dozens of red-eyes, as they try to avoid delays while hauling millions of passengers through the Christmas weekend. Success or failure could all depend on the weather. Airlines are expecting some 38 million passengers over a 17-day period spanning Christmas and New Year’s, an increase of about 3 percent, according to the trade group Airlines for America.
