Jackson, Mississippi was added to the list on Thursday, <a

seen an increase in cancellations following its decision to stop blocking intermediate seats, Kelly said there had been an increase, but attributed it to the peak in COVID-19 cases nationwide rather than the change in policy for intermediate seats, which took effect this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Tracy Rucinski; edited by Diane Craft and Dan Grebler<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
