International = 4 and domestic =4. Multiple airlines.
1) Flight Dulles to Iceland delayed 2 hours - earlier flight was late, then door would not close properly. Plus 100% full flight, took a long time to get all passengers aboard. Crowded and overbooked.
2) Flight Iceland to Sweden - no issues. Crowded but on time.
3) Flight Sweden to Iceland delayed 2 hours, unknown reasons. Airline lost my checked baggage on arrival - took 1.5 days to send it to my hotel - but bag arrived 1.5 hours after my flight and I was notified via text at that time - still took airline 30 hours to send it to me. 
4) Flight Iceland to Dulles delayed 2.5 hours, arriving plane was late, unknown cause. Crowded and overbooked. Then waited 1.5 hours to get through Customs at Dulles, only had 2 Customs agents working US Citizen line, and one walked off when his shift was done.
5) Pittsburgh to Charlotte - delayed 2.5 hours - loaded late and sat in plane on runway for 1.5 hours due to weather in Charlotte.
6) Charlotte to Daytona - delayed 2 hours because of turmoil in Charlotte airport due to cascading weather delays. Few restaurants in Charlotte airport open. Waited 20 minutes in line at bagel place only to get to counter and found out they only had a raisin bagel left, could have told line, very annoyed. Wife and I could only find a few stale packaged sandwiches at the newsstand for dinner. Did not board arriving plane immediately - waiting for flight crew. The flight in the gate next to us was cancelled due to lack of flight crew.
7) Daytona to Charlotte. Delayed 1 hour - plane late. Unknown reason. Overbooked and crowded flight.
8) Charlotte to Pittsburgh. Delayed 2 hours. Probably weather again, but airport was PACKED, and again the few restaurants were over crowded and running out of food at 530 PM. Sub place only had 3 choices out of 10, took an 45 minutes to get food. On arrival in Pittsburgh after midnight (schedule arrival was 7 PM) Ubers were charging over $100 for a trip into Pittsburgh's South Hills that normally is under $40. 4 drivers blew us off without notice after accepting before one finally took us - had to wait 30 minutes. Again news of lack of flight crews was rampant.
Weather affected some of those trips - absolutely it did.
But lack of flight crews and overbooking added to the misery. And Charlotte airport simply sucks. Because of construction, poor layout, rampant overbooking and the fact folks who are not travelling can enter airside secured areas it is operating way over capacity to the point the restaurants can't efficiently serve the crowds. Not just once, but both layovers. Charlotte airport used to be a very good experience, but now is worse then Chicago, Dallas, or Atlanta in the old days.
Airlines care more about filling that last seat and are overbooking every fight to insure full capacity, then the fact they are really inconveniencing all travelers with their greed.
The whole US Custom's fiasco at one of Nations premier airports is a totally different issue, but points to lack of leadership at that airport.
Flying sure ain't what it used to be. Travelling to NYC tomorrow on business flight - anticipating delay. Wish us luck.
